Overview

Retrospective cohort study shows a 24.66% DKA incidence in adults with diabetes, highlighting major predictors.

Key Points

  • The study found that 24.66% of diabetic patients developed diabetic ketoacidosis during the analysis period.
  • DKA incidence was highest in type 1 diabetes at 2.7 cases per 100 person-months compared to 0.7 for type 2 diabetes.
  • Poor glycemic control, medication non-adherence, and urinary tract infections were identified as significant predictors of DKA.
  • Targeted follow-up care is essential to mitigate DKA risk factors among diabetic patients to improve health outcomes.
