Retrospective cohort study examines incidence and predictors of diabetic ketoacidosis in Ethiopian diabetes patients, suggesting improved patient care strategies.

Key Points

Assess the incidence and predictors of diabetic ketoacidosis among diabetes mellitus patients in public health centers of Lideta Sub-City, Addis Ababa.
Retrospective cohort design using patient charts from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022.
Probability proportional to size and simple random sampling techniques were employed for patient selection.
Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to identify independent predictors.
27.2% of the 419 diabetic patients developed diabetic ketoacidosis during the follow-up period.
Cumulative incidence was 0.742 per 100-person-month of observation.
Significant predictors included type 1 diabetes (AHR = 1.88), medication noncompliance (AHR = 2.7), poor glycemic control (AHR = 1.9), acute illness (AHR = 1.75), and insulin medication (AHR = 2.32).
