Systematic review and metanalysis on the use of imaging for neuroprognostication after cardiac arrest

Objectives: Predicting neurological outcome in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest typically relies on clinical examination findings.Methods: We searched Medline (database inception-December 2016) to retrieve studies of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict poor ne...
