Evaluate the clinico-biochemical profile, precipitating factors, and outcomes in diabetic ketoacidosis patients admitted to a tertiary care center.
Prospective observational study of 50 consecutive DKA patients admitted to a medical ICU from January 2020 to November 2021.
Detailed clinical data and laboratory parameters were recorded and analyzed systematically.
Mean age of patients was 35.0 years, with 10% mortality observed.
Infection (50%) and treatment nonadherence (32%) were major triggers for DKA.
56% of patients presented with severe DKA, and those who did not survive were older with more frequent acute kidney injury.
