Effects of pre-existing type 1 diabetes mellitus on survival outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a registry-based observational study in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been estimated that 80% of cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are due to cardiac causes. It is well-documented that diabetes is a risk factor for conditions associated with sudden cardiac arrest. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) displays a threefold to fivefold increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death compared with the general population.

Objective

This study aims to assess the characteristics and survival outcomes of individuals with and without T1D who experienced an OHCA. Design: A registry-based nationwide observational study with two cohorts, patients with T1D and patients without T1D. Setting: All emergency medical services and hospitals in Sweden were included in the study.

Participants

Using the Swedish Cardiopulmonar
