May support earlier diagnosis focus in new-onset diabetes; leaves open causal drivers of admission shifts.
Observational (n=630)
Despite a slight overall downward trend in DKA admissions over 15 years, DKA remains a significant complication, highlighting the need for earlier diagnosis in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients.
Bui et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (n=630). Time period (1985-1999) and clinical practices was evaluated on Incidence of DKA admissions. Over a 15-year period, the overall incidence of DKA admissions showed a slight downward trend, with a proportionate increase among newly diagnosed patients and a decrease among relapsers.
