Retrospective cohort analysis shows high DKA frequency among adults with diabetes, suggesting social factors impact outcomes.

Approximately 76.2% of diabetes patients developed ketoacidosis during the three-year follow-up period, indicating critical health risks.
Factors influencing increased DKA frequency include rural residence (AIRR = 1.48) and low educational attainment, highlighting significant disparities.
A negative binomial regression analysis was used to identify predictors of recurrent DKA episodes among the 370 studied patients.
The study emphasizes the necessity for improving health insurance access and community engagement, particularly for type II diabetes patients.

Bantie et al. (2025) studied this question.
