From: Resting energy expenditure and substrate oxidation rates correlate to temperature and outcome after cardiac arrest - a prospective observational cohort study

Figure 2

Changes in metabolic variables during the whole study period assessed with indirect calorimetry at the defined time points. Comparison of patients with favourable neurological outcome (CPC 1 to 2) with unfavourable neurological outcome (CPC 3 to 5): black dots ●, favourable neurological outcome; grey squares ■, unfavourable neurological outcome, error bars indicate standard deviation. (a) Linear regression of REE did not show a difference between patients with favourable and unfavourable neurological outcome (P = 0.2). (b) Linear regression of fat oxidation rates revealed a significant difference between patients with favourable and unfavourable neurological outcome (P <0.05). (c) Linear regression of glucose oxidation rates revealed a significant difference between patients with favourable and unfavourable neurological outcome (P <0.05). (d) Linear regression of protein oxidation rates did not show a difference between patients with favourable and unfavourable neurological outcome (P = 0.8). CPC, cerebral performance category; REE, resting energy expenditure.
