Fluid resuscitation with balanced electrolyte solutions results in faster resolution of diabetic ketoacidosis than with 0.9% saline in adults - A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2024; 40:e3831. [PMID: 38925619 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Fluid resuscitation during diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is most frequently performed with 0.9% saline despite its high chloride and sodium concentration. Balanced Electrolyte Solutions (BES) may prove a more physiological alternative, but convincing evidence is missing. We aimed to compare the efficacy of 0.9% saline to BES in DKA management. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies using predefined keywords (from inception to 27 November 2021). Relevant studies were those in which 0.9% saline (Saline-group) was compared to BES (BES-group) in adults admitted with DKA. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. The primary outcome was time to DKA resolution (defined by each study individually), while the main secondary outcomes were changes in laboratory values, duration of insulin infusion, and mortality. We included seven randomized controlled trials and three observational studies with 1006 participants. The primary outcome was reported for 316 patients, and we found that BES resolves DKA faster than 0.9% saline with a mean difference (MD) of -5.36 [95% CI: -10.46, -0.26] hours. Post-resuscitation chloride (MD: -4.26 [-6.97, -1.54] mmoL/L) and sodium (MD: -1.38 [-2.14, -0.62] mmoL/L) levels were significantly lower. In contrast, levels of post-resuscitation bicarbonate (MD: 1.82 [0.75, 2.89] mmoL/L) were significantly elevated in the BES-group compared to the Saline-group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the duration of parenteral insulin administration (MD: 0.16 [-3.03, 3.35] hours) or mortality (OR: -0.67 [0.12, 3.68]). Studies showed some concern or a high risk of bias, and the level of evidence for most outcomes was low. This meta-analysis indicates that the use of BES resolves DKA faster than 0.9% saline. Therefore, DKA guidelines should consider BES instead of 0.9% saline as the first choice during fluid resuscitation.

Association between serum chloride and in-hospital mortality in congestive heart failure with diabetes: Data from the MIMIC-IV database. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2024; 23:859-870. [PMID: 38932886 PMCID: PMC11196478 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-023-01362-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Background Congestive heart failure (CHF) demonstrates a heightened prevalence in individuals with diabetes mellitus within Intensive Care Units. The occurrence of abnormal chloride levels is frequently observed in critically ill patients, yet its clinical significance remains subject to debate. This study endeavors to explore the relationship between serum chloride levels and in-hospital mortality among patients affected by both congestive heart failure and diabetes. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted, utilizing data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database, focusing on adult patients in the United States. The impact of serum chloride levels upon ICU admission on in-hospital mortality was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models, generalized additive models and subgroup analysis. Results The study encompassed 7,063 patients with coexisting diabetes and congestive heart failure. The fully adjusted model revealed an inverse association between serum chloride levels and in-hospital mortality. As a tertile variable (Q3 vs Q1), the odds ratio (OR) was 0.73 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.54-0.98 (p = 0.039). As a continuous variable, per 1 mmol/L increment, the OR (95% CI) was 0.97 (0.96-0.99, p = 0.01). The relationship between serum chloride and in-hospital mortality demonstrated linearity (non-linear p = 0.958). Stratified analyses further validated the robustness of this correlation. Conclusions Serum chloride levels exhibited a negative association with in-hospital mortality in patients with both congestive heart failure and diabetes. Nevertheless, prospective, randomized, controlled studies are warranted to corroborate and validate the findings presented in this investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend normal saline (NS) for fluid resuscitation in the management of patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, previous prospective studies have demonstrated improvement in patient-specific outcomes, including time to DKA resolution, when balanced crystalloid fluids are used. METHODS We conducted a single institution, retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted with DKA before and after a protocol change within our institution, which shifted the default resuscitative and maintenance fluid in our DKA management protocol from NS to lactated Ringer's solution (LR). The primary outcome was time from DKA clinical presentation until DKA resolution. The secondary outcome was time to discontinuation of DKA protocol insulin drip. RESULTS Of 246 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 119 were in the NS group (preprotocol change, where NS was the default resuscitative fluid) and 127 to the LR group (postprotocol change, where LR was the default resuscitative fluid). Time to DKA resolution was significantly decreased in the LR group (mean = 17.1 hours; standard deviation [SD] = 11.0) relative to the NS group (mean = 20.6 hours; SD = 12.2; P = .02). Duration of DKA protocol insulin drip was shorter in the LR group (mean = 16.0 hours; SD = 8.7) compared with the NS group (mean = 21.4 hours; SD = 12.5; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective cohort study, protocolized DKA intravenous fluid management with LR resulted in shorter time to resolution of DKA and reduced duration of DKA protocol insulin drip.

Abstract
AIM This systematic review aims to provide evidence on effectiveness of interventions used in emergency care of hypoglycaemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). METHODOLOGY This is a systematic review of randomized controlled trials and analytical studies. We selected studies based on eligibility criteria. The databases Medline, Cochrane library and Embase were searched from their inception till November 2, 2022, using search strategy. We used the term such as "diabetes mellitus", "treatment", "hypoglycaemia", "diabetic ketoacidosis", "low blood sugar", "high blood sugar" and Mesh terms like "disease management", "hypoglycaemia", "diabetic ketoacidosis", and "diabetes mellitus" to form search strategy. RESULTS Hypoglycemia: Both 10 % dextrose (D10) and 50 % dextrose (D50) are effective options with similar hospital mortality D10 (4.7 %) and D50 (6.2 %). DKA: Low dose insulin is non-inferior to standard dose with time till resolution of DKA 16.5 (7.2) hours and 17.2 (7.7) hours (p value = 0.73) respectively. In children, subcutaneous insulin was associated with reduced ICU admissions and hospital readmissions (67.8 % to 27.9 %). Plasmalyte (PL) is noninferior to sodium chloride (SC), with ICU length of stay 49 h (IQR 23-72) and 55 h (IQR 41-80) respectively, hyperchloremia was associated with longer in-hospital length of stay and longer time to resolution of DKA. And potassium replacement at < 10 mmol/L was associated with higher mortality (n = 72). CONCLUSION We conclude either of the 10 % or 50 % dextrose is effective for management of hypoglycaemia. For DKA subcutaneous insulin and intravenous insulin, chloride levels ≤ 109 mEq/L, potassium above 10 mmol/l, IV fluids like Plasmalyte and normal saline are effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) related admissions poses a significant burden on the healthcare systems globally. However, data regarding the predictors of healthcare resource utilization in DKA is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to identify key predictors of hospital length of stay (LOS), readmission and recurrent DKA episodes. METHODS We undertook a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of all DKA admissions from 2015 to 2021 across four hospitals in Qatar. The primary outcomes were the length of stay (LOS), 90-day readmission and 6-month and 1-year DKA recurrence. RESULTS We included 922 patients with a median age of 35 years (25-45). 62% were males with type-1 diabetes-mellitus (T1DM) and type-2 DM (T2DM), present in 52% and 48% of patients. The median LOS was 2.6 days (IQR 1.1-4.8), and the median DKA resolution time was 18 h (10.5-29). Male-gender, new-onset DM, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), lower haemoglobin, sodium and potassium, higher urea, longer DKA duration and MICU admission predicted a longer LOS in a multivariate regression analysis. None of the factors were significantly associated with 90-day readmission. Patients with pre-existing T1DM were more likely to have a six-month DKA recurrence than pre-existing T2DM. Patients with a 6-month DKA recurrence, female gender and T1DM had higher odds of 12-month recurrence, whereas a consult with a diabetes educator at the index admission was associated with decreased odds of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION This is the most extensive study from the Middle-East region reporting on LOS, readmissions and the recurrence of DKA. Results from this study with a diverse population may be valuable for physicians and healthcare systems to decrease the diabetes-related healthcare burden in DKA patients.

Abstract
The first-line treatment of diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) involves fluid resuscitation with normal saline infusion to correct hypovolemia. Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis from aggressive normal saline administration was associated with worse clinical outcomes in managing DKA. Other choices for normal saline include balanced electrolyte solutions (BESs). This study aimed to compare the clinical effects between BESs and normal saline in managing DKA. This study was a systematic review of probing articles published from inception to October 2021 in Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Eight randomized controlled trials with a total of 595 individuals were included. The data were analyzed at 95% confidence level using random-effects models. For the primary outcomes, there was no difference in the duration of DKA resolution. (Mean difference [MD] -4.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] -2.72-4.92; I2 = 92%; P = 0.180). However, there was a significantly lower postresuscitation chloride concentration in the BES (MD 2.96 95% CI - 4.86 to - 1.06; I2 = 59%; P = 0.002). For the secondary outcomes, there was a significant reduction in duration for normalization of bicarbonate in the BES group (MD 3.11 95% CI - 3.98-2.23; I2 = 5%; P = 0.0004). There were no significant differences between groups in duration for recovery of pH, intensive unit admission, and adverse events (mortality and acute renal failure). Resuscitation with BES was associated with decreased chloride and increased bicarbonate values in DKA patients. It suggests that BES prevents DKA patients from hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a major complication affecting patients with diabetes. It is often the first presentation of type I diabetes and can also occur due to a lack of compliance with insulin therapy or infection, among other causes. Hospitalizations for DKA have increased globally among patients with type I and type II diabetes, which poses a strain on health systems. AIM To determine the factors impacting the time to resolution of metabolic parameters in DKA patients. METHODS This retrospective study was performed by reviewing the clinical records of hospitalized DKA patients at King Fahad Specialist Hospital, a tertiary-level healthcare center in Buraidah, Al Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. The study included all DKA admissions that met the inclusion criteria between September 2019 and April 2022. RESULTS A total of 129 patients with a diagnosis of DKA from January 2019 to April 2022 were identified. Of these, 67 patients met the inclusion criteria. More females experienced DKA (56.7%), and the study population had an improvement rate of 97%. The mean length of stay (LOS) for patients with DKA was 73.19 hours, and the median time for DKA resolution was 15 hours (mean time 21.38 hours). The omission of insulin was the leading precipitating factor for DKA (43%) followed by infection (12%). A high serum bicarbonate (HCO3) level was identified as an independent predictor for a longer time to resolution. Patients with DKA who have high glucose levels on admission, higher body mass index (BMI), older age, and higher weight stayed in the hospital for extended periods. Conversely, patients with a higher serum potential of Hydrogen (pH) had a shorter LOS. Age was the only clinically independent predictor for a minimum LOS for DKA. Patients with comorbidities had a longer hospital LOS than patients without comorbidities; no such relationship has been reported in other studies. Patients in our study population had a longer time of resolution than observed in other studies, although no clear cause was identified. CONCLUSION This study contributes to our understanding of DKA in hospitalized patients in Saudi Arabia. This is the first study to link patients with DKA who have comorbidities to a longer hospital stay in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study also identified multiple clinical and biochemical parameters related to the variability in LOS and time to resolution of DKA in hospitalized patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the use of saline to balanced crystalloid for fluid resuscitation in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DATA SOURCES We searched databases including Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane registry. STUDY SELECTION We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared saline to balanced crystalloid in patients with DKA. DATA EXTRACTION We pooled estimates of effect using relative risk for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences (MDs) for continuous outcomes, both with 95% CIs. We assessed risk of bias for included RCTs using the modified Cochrane tool and certainty of evidence using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology. DATA SYNTHESIS We included eight RCTs (n = 482 patients). Both time to DKA resolution (MD, 3.51 hr longer; 95% CI, 0.90 longer to 6.12 longer; moderate certainty) and length of hospital stay (MD, 0.89 d longer in saline group; 95% CI, 0.34 longer to 1.43 d longer; moderate certainty) are probably longer in the saline group compared with the balanced crystalloid group, although for the latter, the absolute difference (under 1 d) is small. Post-resuscitation serum chloride level may be higher (MD, 1.62 mmol/L higher; 95% CI, 0.40 lower to 3.64 higher; low certainty), and post-resuscitation serum bicarbonate is probably lower (MD, 1.50 mmol/L; 95% CI, 2.33 lower to 0.67 lower; moderate certainty) in those receiving saline. CONCLUSIONS In patients with DKA, the use of saline may be associated with longer time to DKA resolution, higher post-resuscitation serum chloride levels, lower post-resuscitation serum bicarbonate levels, and longer hospital stay compared with balanced crystalloids. Pending further data, low to moderate certainty data support using balanced crystalloid over saline for fluid resuscitation in patients with DKA.

Abstract
Background Abnormal electrolytes were closely related to the prognosis of various diseases, the prognostic role of electrolytes in stroke has not been investigated well. We aimed to investigate the association between electrolytes and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods Data were recruited from the China National Stroke Registry III study. Patients were classified into three groups according to tertiles and the normal range of each electrolyte. Multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazards regressions were adopted to explore the associations of electrolytes with poor functional outcomes [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 3–6/2–6] and all-cause death at 3 months and 1 year. Results A total of 10,299 eligible patients were enrolled. After adjusted for confounding factors, the first tertile electrolytes were associated with increased risk of poor functional outcome (mRS score 3–6) at 1 year, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.33 (1.14–1.55) for potassium, 1.41 (1.20–1.60) for sodium, 1.27 (1.08–1.48) for chloride, compared with the second tertile. Similar results were found when poor functional outcome was defined as mRS score 2–6 and all-cause death. However, almost no significant association was present of calcium with these outcomes. All results were consistent when each electrolyte was classified into three groups according to the normal range and the outcomes timepoint was set at 3 months. Conclusions Lower levels of potassium, sodium, chloride but not calcium were associated with higher risk of poor functional outcomes and death in patients with AIS or TIA.

Abstract
Introduction: Hypertonic saline is often used to treat patients with traumatic brain injury. It carries the undesired side effect of hyperchloremia, which has been linked to acute kidney injury (AKI). We sought to evaluate the relationship of hyperchloremia and AKI in this population and whether the absolute exposure to hyperchloremia, including maximal hyperchloremia and duration of hyperchloremia were associated with AKI. Methods: A retrospective study of severe traumatic brain injury patients who received hypertonic saline at a single academic institution. Demographics, head abbreviated injury scale, development of hyperchloremia (Cl ≥ 115), duration of hyperchloremia, highest chloride level, duration of hypertonic saline use, admission GFR, and administration of nephrotoxic medications were abstracted. The outcome of interest was the association between renal function and hyperchloremia. Results: A total of 123 patients were included in the study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that only duration of hyperchloremia ( p = 0.014) and GFR on admission ( p = 0.004) were independently associated with development of AKI. The number of days of hypertonic saline infusion ( p = 0.79) without the persistence of hyperchloremia and highest serum chloride levels ( p = 0.23) were not predictive of AKI development. Discussion: In patients with traumatic brain injury, admission GFR and prolonged hyperchloremia rather than the highest chloride level or the duration of hypertonic saline infusion were associated with the development of AKI.
