Association between the voxel-based quantitatively analysed parameters of ADC (the mean whole brain ADC and percentage of voxels with ADC below a specific threshold [200 to 1150 × 10−6 mm2/s]) and the poor neurological outcomes. A All parameters are associated with the poor neurological outcome in the univariable analyses. B After adjustment with the cardiac arrest characteristics (no- and low-flow time, bystander CPR, witnessed arrest, shockable rhythm, and cardiac aetiology) and serum lactic acid level measured after ROSC, the mean whole brain ADC and the percentage of voxels with ADC value below 600 and 650 × 10−6 mm2/s were independently associated with the poor neurological outcome. ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; OR, odds ratio; aOR, adjusted odds ratio
