  • Outcomes are shown in table 3. Patients with T1D were discharged alive in 37.3% of cases, compared with 46% of patients without T1D. Patients with T1D had generally good neurological outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with 76.5% classified as category 1 and 23.5% as category 2. This was also true for patients without T1D. Survival at 30 days was noted for 10.3% of those with T1D compared with 11.0% of those without T1D.
