Stepcare Extended Follow-up Substudy

Phase N/A

The study aims to understand recovery in people who survive a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at things like how deep their sleep is, how warm they are kept, and their blood pressure. It also studies how taking care of these survivors affects their caregivers, who are people that help take care of them. The study follows survivors at 6 and 12 months to see if their brain functions better and to learn about the stress on caregivers.

  • Lasts 6-12 months with follow-ups.
  • Includes 600 survivors and one caregiver each.
  • No extra risks beyond the initial STEPCARE trial.

To join, survivors must have been part of the STEPCARE trial and have survived. Caregivers should live with or regularly contact the survivor. This study helps us learn how to make recovery better and support those who care for survivors.
