Introduction: A multimodal approach to prognostication of outcome after cardiac arrest (CA) is recommended. Evidence for combinations of methods is low. In this post-hoc analysis we described findings on head computed tomography (CT) after CA. We also examined whether generalised oedema on CT alone or together with the biomarker Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) could predict poor outcome.Methods: Patients participating in the Target Temperature Management after out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest-trial underwent CT based on clinical indications. Findings were divided into pre-specified categories according to local radiologists descriptions. Generalised oedema alone and in combination with peak NSE at either 48 h or 72 h was correlated with poor outcome at 6 months follow-up using the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC 3-5).Results: 356/939 (37.9%) of patients underwent head CT. Initial CT 38 ng/l and generalised oedema on CT predicted poor outcome with 46.0% sensitivity (95% CI: 36.5-55.8) with no false positives. NSE was significantly higher in patients with generalised oedema.Conclusion: In this study, generalised oedema was more common > 24h
