Factors contributing to diabetic ketoacidosis readmission in hospital settings in the United States: A scoping review. J Diabetes Complications 2024; 38:108835. [PMID: 39137675 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2024.108835] [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: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospitalization of patients with DKA creates a significant burden on the US healthcare system. While previous studies have identified multiple potential contributors, a comprehensive review of the factors leading to DKA readmissions within the US healthcare system has not been done. This scoping review aims to identify how access to care, treatment adherence, socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity impact DKA readmission-related patient morbidity and mortality and contribute to the socioeconomic burden on the US healthcare system. Additionally, this study aims to integrate current recommendations to address this multifactorial issue, ultimately reducing the burden at both individual and organizational levels. METHODS The PRISMA-SCR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) was used as a reference checklist throughout this study. The Arksey and O'Malley methodology was used as a framework to guide this review. The framework methodology consisted of five steps: (1) Identify research questions; (2) Search for relevant studies; (3) Selection of studies relevant to the research questions; (4) Chart the data; (5) Collate, summarize, and report the results. RESULTS A total of 15 articles were retained for analysis. Among the various social factors identified, those related to sex/gender (n = 9) and age (n = 9) exhibited the highest frequency. Moreover, race and ethnicity (n = 8) was another recurrent factor that appeared in half of the studies. Economic factors were also identified in this study, with patient insurance type having the highest frequency (n = 11). Patient income had the second highest frequency (n = 6). Multiple studies identified a link between patients of a specific race/ethnicity and decreased access to treatment. Insufficient patient education around DKA treatment was noted to impact treatment accessibility. Certain recommendations for future directions were highlighted as recurrent themes across included studies and encompassed patient education, early identification of DKA risk factors, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach using community partners such as social workers and dieticians to decrease DKA readmission rates in diabetic patients. CONCLUSION This study can inform future policy decisions to improve the accessibility, affordability, and quality of healthcare through evidence-based interventions for patients with DM following an episode of DKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing the risks of complications is a primary goal of diabetes management, with effective glycemic control a key factor. Glucose monitoring using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology is an important part of diabetes self-management, helping patients reach and maintain targeted glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Although clinical guidelines recommended CGM use, coverage by Medicaid is limited, likely because of cost concerns. OBJECTIVE To assess the cost-effectiveness of FreeStyle Libre CGM systems, compared with capillary-based self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), in US individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus using basal insulin. METHODS A patient-level microsimulation model was used to compare CGM with SMBG for a population of 10,000 patients. A 10-year horizon was used, with an annual discount rate of 3.0% for costs and utilities. Model population characteristics were based on US national epidemiology data. Patient outcomes were based on published clinical trials and real-world studies. Annual costs, reflective of 2023 values, included CGM and SMBG acquisition costs and the costs of treating diabetic ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycemia, and diabetes complications. The effect of CGM was modeled as a persistent 1.1% reduction in HbA1c relative to SMBG based on US real-world evidence. Disutilities were based on published clinical trials and other relevant literature. The primary outcome was cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. Sensitivity analyses were performed to test the validity of the model results when accounting for a plausible variation of inputs. RESULTS In the base case analysis, CGM was dominant to SMBG, providing more QALYs (6.18 vs 5.97) at a lower cost ($70,137 vs $71,809) over the 10-year time horizon. A $10,456 increase in glucose monitoring costs was offset by a $12,127 reduction in treatment costs. Cost savings reflected avoidance of acute diabetic events (savings owing to reductions in severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis were $271 and $2,159, respectively) and a reduced cumulative incidence of diabetes complications, particularly renal failure (saving $5,292), myocardial infarction (saving $1,996), and congestive heart failure (saving $1,061). Scenario analyses were consistent with the base case results, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for CGM vs SMBG ranged from dominant to cost-effective. In probabilistic analysis, CGM was 100% likely to be cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $50,000/QALY. CONCLUSIONS CGM is cost-effective compared with SMBG for US patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving basal insulin therapy. This suggests that state Medicaid programs could benefit from broader coverage of CGM.

JMIR Diabetes 2024; 9:e53338.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D), occurring in approximately 20% of patients, with an economic cost of $5.1 billion/year in the United States. Despite multiple risk factors for postdiagnosis DKA, there is still a need for explainable, clinic-ready models that accurately predict DKA hospitalization in established patients with pediatric T1D. OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop an interpretable machine learning model to predict the risk of postdiagnosis DKA hospitalization in children with T1D using routinely collected time-series of electronic health record (EHR) data. METHODS We conducted a retrospective case-control study using EHR data from 1787 patients from among 3794 patients with T1D treated at a large tertiary care US pediatric health system from January 2010 to June 2018. We trained a state-of-the-art; explainable, gradient-boosted ensemble (XGBoost) of decision trees with 44 regularly collected EHR features to predict postdiagnosis DKA. We measured the model's predictive performance using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve-weighted F1-score, weighted precision, and recall, in a 5-fold cross-validation setting. We analyzed Shapley values to interpret the learned model and gain insight into its predictions. RESULTS Our model distinguished the cohort that develops DKA postdiagnosis from the one that does not (P<.001). It predicted postdiagnosis DKA risk with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.80 (SD 0.04), a weighted F1-score of 0.78 (SD 0.04), and a weighted precision and recall of 0.83 (SD 0.03) and 0.76 (SD 0.05) respectively, using a relatively short history of data from routine clinic follow-ups post diagnosis. On analyzing Shapley values of the model output, we identified key risk factors predicting postdiagnosis DKA both at the cohort and individual levels. We observed sharp changes in postdiagnosis DKA risk with respect to 2 key features (diabetes age and glycated hemoglobin at 12 months), yielding time intervals and glycated hemoglobin cutoffs for potential intervention. By clustering model-generated Shapley values, we automatically stratified the cohort into 3 groups with 5%, 20%, and 48% risk of postdiagnosis DKA. CONCLUSIONS We have built an explainable, predictive, machine learning model with potential for integration into clinical workflow. The model risk-stratifies patients with pediatric T1D and identifies patients with the highest postdiagnosis DKA risk using limited follow-up data starting from the time of diagnosis. The model identifies key time points and risk factors to direct clinical interventions at both the individual and cohort levels. Further research with data from multiple hospital systems can help us assess how well our model generalizes to other populations. The clinical importance of our work is that the model can predict patients most at risk for postdiagnosis DKA and identify preventive interventions based on mitigation of individualized risk factors.

Trends in diabetic ketoacidosis- and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state-related mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States: A population-based study. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13591. [PMID: 39136498 PMCID: PMC11320749 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND During the pandemic, a notable increase in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), conditions that warrant emergent management, was reported. We aimed to investigate the trend of DKA- and HHS-related mortality and excess deaths during the pandemic. METHODS Annual age-standardized mortality rates related to DKA and HHS between 2006 and 2021 were estimated using a nationwide database. Forecast analyses based on prepandemic data were conducted to predict the mortality rates during the pandemic. Excess mortality rates were calculated by comparing the observed versus predicted mortality rates. Subgroup analyses of demographic factors were performed. RESULTS There were 71 575 DKA-related deaths and 8618 HHS-related deaths documented during 2006-2021. DKA, which showed a steady increase before the pandemic, demonstrated a pronounced excess mortality during the pandemic (36.91% in 2020 and 46.58% in 2021) with an annual percentage change (APC) of 29.4% (95% CI: 16.0%-44.0%). Although HHS incurred a downward trend during 2006-2019, the excess deaths in 2020 (40.60%) and 2021 (56.64%) were profound. Pediatric decedents exhibited the highest excess mortality. More than half of the excess deaths due to DKA were coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related (51.3% in 2020 and 63.4% in 2021), whereas only less than a quarter of excess deaths due to HHS were COVID-19 related. A widened racial/ethnic disparity was observed, and females exhibited higher excess mortality than males. CONCLUSIONS The DKA- and HHS-related excess mortality during the pandemic and relevant disparities emphasize the urgent need for targeted strategies to mitigate the escalated risk in these populations during public health crises.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A mainstay in the acute management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is fluid resuscitation. Normal saline is recommended by the American Diabetes Association; however, it has been associated with hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. Limited literature is available to determine the most appropriate crystalloid fluid to treat patients with DKA. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare lactated Ringer's (LR) to normal saline (NS) in the acute management of DKA. METHODS This was a retrospective, multicenter single health system cohort study. The primary outcome was to evaluate the time to high anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) resolution using LR compared to NS. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of nongap metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia, acute kidney injury, and new renal replacement therapy. Other secondary outcomes included insulin infusion duration and hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for the primary outcome. RESULTS A total of 771 patient encounters were included. Lactated Ringer's was associated with faster time to HAGMA resolution compared to NS (adjusted hazard ratio 1.325; 95% confidence interval 1.121-1.566; p < 0.001). No difference was found in complications such as incidence of nongap metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia, acute kidney injury, and new renal replacement therapy between the LR and NS groups. Additionally, there was no difference in insulin infusion duration and hospital or intensive care unit length of stay. CONCLUSION Treatment with LR as the primary crystalloid for acute DKA management was associated with faster HAGMA resolution compared with NS. Similar incidence in complications and length of stay was observed between the two groups. The findings of this study add to the accumulating literature suggesting that balanced crystalloids may offer an advantage over NS for the treatment of patients with DKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of, risk factors for, and adverse outcomes associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at delivery hospitalization among individuals with pregestational diabetes (type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus) and secondarily to evaluate the frequency of and risk factors for antepartum and postpartum hospitalizations for DKA. METHODS We conducted a serial, cross-sectional study using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Readmissions Database from 2010 to 2020 of pregnant individuals with pregestational diabetes hospitalized for delivery. The exposures were 1) sociodemographic and clinical risk factors for DKA and 2) DKA. The outcomes were DKA at delivery hospitalization, maternal morbidity (nontransfusion severe maternal morbidity (SMM), critical care procedures, cardiac complications, acute renal failure, and transfusion), and adverse pregnancy outcomes (preterm birth, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and cesarean delivery) and secondarily DKA at antepartum and postpartum hospitalizations. RESULTS Of 392,796 deliveries in individuals with pregestational diabetes (27.2% type 1 diabetes, 72.8% type 2 diabetes), there were 4,778 cases of DKA at delivery hospitalization (89.1% type 1 diabetes, 10.9% type 2 diabetes). The frequency of DKA at delivery hospitalization was 1.2% (4.0% with type 1 diabetes, 0.2% with type 2 diabetes), and the mean annual percentage change was 10.8% (95% CI, 8.2-13.2%). Diabetic ketoacidosis at delivery hospitalization was significantly more likely among those who had type 1 diabetes compared with those with type 2 diabetes, who were younger in age, who delivered at larger and metropolitan hospitals, and who had Medicaid insurance, lower income, multiple gestations, and prior psychiatric illness. Diabetic ketoacidosis during the delivery hospitalization was associated with an increased risk of nontransfusion SMM (20.8% vs 2.4%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 8.18, 95% CI, 7.20-9.29), critical care procedures (7.3% vs 0.4%, aOR 15.83, 95% CI, 12.59-19.90), cardiac complications (7.8% vs 0.8%, aOR 8.87, 95% CI, 7.32-10.76), acute renal failure (12.3% vs 0.7%, aOR 9.78, 95% CI, 8.16-11.72), and transfusion (6.2% vs 2.2%, aOR 2.27, 95% CI, 1.87-2.75), as well as preterm birth (31.9% vs 13.5%, aOR 2.41, 95% CI, 2.17-2.69) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (37.4% vs 28.1%, aOR 1.11, 95% CI, 1.00-1.23). In secondary analyses, the overall frequency of antepartum DKA was 3.1%, and the mean annual percentage change was 4.1% (95% CI, 0.3-8.6%); the overall frequency of postpartum DKA was 0.4%, and the mean annual percentage change was 3.5% (95% CI, -1.6% to 9.6%). Of 3,092 antepartum hospitalizations among individuals with DKA, 15.7% (n=485) had a recurrent case of DKA at delivery hospitalization. Of 1,419 postpartum hospitalizations among individuals with DKA, 20.0% (n=285) previously had DKA at delivery hospitalization. The above risk factors for DKA at delivery hospitalization were similar for DKA at antepartum and postpartum hospitalizations. CONCLUSION The frequency of DKA at delivery hospitalization and antepartum hospitalizations for DKA increased between 2010 and 2020 among deliveries in individuals with pregestational diabetes in the United States. Diabetic ketoacidosis is associated with an increased risk of maternal morbidity and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Risk factors for DKA at delivery were similar to those for DKA during the antepartum and postpartum periods.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of a two-bag method compared with a one-bag method for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We hypothesize that a two-bag method will decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia, when compared with a one-bag method. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients treated for DKA at a Trinity Health institution between 2020 and 2022. A total of 1084 adult patients were included. Patients treated with the one-bag protocol were included in the pre-group, while those treated with the two-bag protocol were included in the post-group. The primary outcome was incidence of hypoglycemia (blood glucose <70 mg/dL). Secondary outcomes included time to anion gap closure, insulin infusion duration, time to HCO3 correction, and incidence of hypokalemia. Patients were excluded if they were pregnant or diagnosed with Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS), euglycemic DKA, or ketosis from other causes. Results: The incidence of hypoglycemia was 38% in the pre-group and 15.83% in the post-group (P < .001). Patients in the pre-group were on an insulin infusion longer than the post-group (28.37 hours vs 22.17 hours, P < .001). Patients in the pre-group had a slower time to anion gap closure (8.99 hours vs 8.52 hours, P = .021) and had a slower time to HCO3 correction (10.88 hours vs 10.69 hours, P = .004). Between-group incidence of hypokalemia was similar (66.39% vs 60%, P = .079). Conclusions: The two-bag method for the treatment of DKA resulted in improved safety and efficacy outcomes, compared with the one-bag method.

Abstract
Background Insulin is a mainstay of treatment in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) however controversy remains over the optimal dose and administration. An initial bolus dose of insulin prior to a continuous infusion is utilized despite a lack of data showing clinical benefit and potential for complications. Objective This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an initial insulin bolus in the treatment of DKA. Methods A retrospective chart review of patients with DKA was conducted. Fifty-nine patients met inclusion for the bolus group and 108 in the no-bolus group. The primary outcome was a composite of interruption of insulin infusion, hypoglycemia (BG <70 mg/dL), or hypokalemia (K+ <3.4 mEq/L) occurring within eight hours of starting insulin. Secondary outcomes included time to discontinuation of insulin infusion, as well as time to discharge from the ICU and the hospital. Results Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The majority of patients were classified as having mild DKA. The primary outcome occurred significantly more frequently in the bolus group (45.8% vs 25%, P = .003) which was primarily driven by incidence of hypokalemia. Time to anion gap closure (6:39 vs 9:00, P = .063) was shorter with a bolus, although not significantly so. This finding carried forward to non-significant differences in time to stopping insulin infusion as well as ICU and hospital discharge. Conclusion An insulin bolus prior to initiation of an insulin infusion was associated with significantly more adverse effects early in therapy without a corresponding benefit in time to resolution of DKA.

Abstract
Young adulthood can be a challenging time for individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) as they experience increasing independence and life transitions, which can make it difficult to engage in DM self care. Compared to older adults, young adults are more likely to have higher glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). They also often have lower adherence to standards of care in DM, and higher utilization of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations for diabetic ketoacidosis. This review describes health-care utilization and explores factors that may contribute to high HbA1c among young adults with DM. In addition, it discusses the unique health-care needs of young adults with DM, examines the role of technology in their DM care, and analyzes the effects of social determinants of health on their health-care utilization.

Abstract
In the context of diabetic ketoacidosis, clinicians should consider uncommon origins of infection, notably infective endocarditis. This is especially crucial when confronted with cases that recur persistently or exhibit resistance to treatment. This is a case of a diabetic patient with diabetic ketoacidosis admitted to our facility. A 35-year-old diabetic patient presented with DKA precipitated by mitral valve endocarditis. To our knowledge and according to the literature review, only one case of DKA precipitated by endocarditis has been reported in the past. This report highlights the importance of considering endocarditis as a possible etiology in patients presenting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND American Indian and Alaska Native people (AI/AN) bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes. Growing evidence shows significant associations between several acute diabetes complications and dementia among diabetes patients. However, little is known about these relationships among AI/AN adults. Here, we aim to investigate these associations among AI/AN adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study extracted data from the Indian Health Service's (IHS) National Data Warehouse and related administrative databases. A total of 29,337 IHS actual users with diabetes who were 45+ years old during fiscal year 2013 were included. All-cause dementia and diabetes complications were identified using ICD-9 diagnostic codes. Negative binomial regression models were used to evaluate the associations of interest. RESULTS Nearly 3% of AI/AN diabetes patients had a dementia diagnosis. After controlling for covariates, dementia was associated with a 94% higher rate of severe hypoglycemia (Incidence Rate Ratio [IRR = 1.94, 95% CI:1.50-2.51), 52% higher rate of severe hyperglycemia (IRR = 1.52, 95% CI, 1.11-2.08), and 92% higher rate of any acute complication (IRR = 1.92, 95% CI:1.53-2.41). CONCLUSIONS AI/AN diabetes patients with dementia suffered from considerably higher rates of acute diabetes complications than their counterparts without dementia. The clinical management of patients with comorbid diabetes and dementia is particularly challenging and may require individualized treatment approaches.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus remains a pressing global health issue, characterized by chronic metabolic dysfunction and the potential for life-threatening acute hyperglycemic emergencies. These emergencies, known as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states, trigger a series of physiological disruptions. This article delves deeply into how the type and duration of diabetes mellitus affect the occurrence of hyperglycemic emergencies and mortality rates. Methods The study was conducted at the Institute of Internal Medicine, Rajiv Gandhi General Hospital, affiliated with Madras Medical College, spanning from July 2021 to December 2021. It encompassed both individuals newly diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis and patients already undergoing diabetic treatment who developed diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states. Results Within the study cohort of 110 patients, 37.27% were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, while 62.73% were classified as Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Among these individuals, 23.60% were newly diagnosed with diabetes, 22.70% had been diabetic for less than one year, 47.30% had a diabetic history of two to five years, and 6.40% had been diabetic for over six years. However, upon investigating the relationship between diabetes duration and mortality rate, no statistically significant findings were observed. Conclusion Hyperglycemic emergencies represent multifaceted clinical challenges influenced by the interplay of various factors, including the type and duration of the disease. By maintaining effective management of hyperglycemia from the outset and sustaining it throughout their lives, people with diabetes can improve their physical and mental health and reduce the likelihood of developing long-term complications that may negatively impact their overall well-being.

Abstract
Background Despite the fact that hyperglycemic crisis poses a significant threat to the health care systems of developing countries like Ethiopia, there is a dearth of reliable data regarding the poor treatment outcome and associated factors among hyperglycemic emergencies in Ethiopia. Therefore, this review aimed to assess poor treatment outcome and associated factors of hyperglycemic emergencies among diabetic patients in Ethiopia. Methods Published articles regarding poor treatment outcome and associated factors of hyperglycemic emergencies among diabetic patients in Ethiopia were extensively searched from PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and African journal online. After extraction, data were exported to Stata software version 11 (Stata Corp LLC, TX, USA) for analysis. Statistically, the Cochrane Q-test and I2 statistics were used to determine the presence or absence of heterogeneity. Results 3650 duplicates were eliminated from the 4291 papers (PubMed [18], Google scholar (1170), African journal online [21], and Cochrane library (3082)). The pooled estimate of poor treatment outcome among hyperglycemic emergencies in Ethiopia is found to be 16.21% (95% CI: 11.01, 21.41, P < 0.001). Creatinine level >1.2 mg/dl, stroke, sepsis and comorbidity were associated factors of poor treatment outcome. Conclusion Poor treatment outcome from hyperglycemic emergencies among diabetic patients was found to be high. Poor treatment outcome was predicted for those patients who had creatinine level >1.2 mg/dl, stroke, sepsis and comorbidity. As a result, we recommend healthcare providers to monitor thoroughly and have close follow-ups for patients with the identified predictors to improve poor treatment outcome from hyperglycemic crises.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are life-threatening conditions that send nearly 180,000 patients to the intensive care unit each year, with mortality rates up to 5-10%. Little is known about the impact of concurrent psychiatric disorders on specific DKA/HHS outcomes. Identifying these relationships offers opportunities to improve clinical management, treatment planning, and mitigate associated morbidity and mortality. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review including adult DKA/HHS admissions within a large Massachusetts hospital system from 2010 to 2019. We identified patients admitted inpatient for DKA or HHS, then filtered by International Classification of Disease-9-CM and International Classification of Disease-10-CM codes for psychiatric diagnoses that were present in patients electronic medical record at any point in this observational period. Outcomes included the number of inpatient admissions for DKA/HHS, age of death, rates of discharging against medical advice (AMA) from any inpatient admission, and end-stage renal disease/dialysis status. Multivariate regression was conducted using R software to control for variables across patients and evaluate relationships between outcomes and concurrent psychiatric disorders. Significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS Seven thousand seven hundred fifty-six patients were admitted for DKA or HHS, 66.9% of whom had a concurrent psychiatric disorder. Of these patients, 54.5% were male, 70.4% were White, and they had an average age of 61.6 years. This compares with 26.1% with concurrent psychiatric condition within the general diabetes population, 52.1% of whom were male, 72.1% were White, and an average age of 68.2 years. A concurrent psychiatric disorder was associated with increased odds of rehospitalization (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.62 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-1.95, P < 0.001), of being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and on dialysis (aOR = 1.02 95% CI 1.002-1.035, P = 0.02), and of leaving AMA (aOR = 6.44 95% CI 4.46-9.63, P < 0.001). The average age of death for those with a concurrent psychiatric disorder had an adjusted mean difference in years of -7.5 years (95% CI -9.3 to 5.8) compared to those without a psychiatric disorder. CONCLUSIONS Of patients with DKA/HHS, 66.9% have a concurrent psychiatric disorder. Patients with a concurrent psychiatric disorder admitted for DKA/HHS were more likely to have multiple admissions, to leave AMA, to be on renal dialysis, and to have a lower age of mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite significant treatment advances in paediatric diabetes management, ED presentations for potentially preventable (PP) complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) remains a major issue. We aimed to examine the characteristics, rates and trends of diabetes-related ED presentations and subsequent admissions in youth aged 0-19 years from 2008 to 2018. METHODS Data were obtained from the Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset and the National Diabetes Register. A diabetes-related ED presentation is defined using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification diagnosis codes. 'Non-preventable' presentations were the number of youths with newly diagnosed diabetes, and the remaining are classified as PP diabetes-related presentations. Poisson regression model was used to examine the trends in incidence rate and prevalence. RESULTS Four thousand eight hundred and seventy-two (59%) of 8220 presentations were PP, 4683 (57%) were for DKA whereas 6200 (82%) required hospital admission. Diabetes-related ED presentations decreased from 38.4 to 27.5 per 100 youth with diabetes per year between 2008 and 2018 (β = -0.04; confidence interval [CI] -0.04 to -0.03; P < 0.001). Females, those aged 0-4 years and rural youth had higher rates of ED presentations than males, older age groups and metropolitan youth. DKA presentations decreased from 20.1 presentations per 100 youth with diabetes in 2008-2009 to 14.9 presentations per 100 youth with diabetes in 2017-2018. The rate of DKA presentations was 68% higher in rural areas compared to metropolitan areas (incidence rate ratio 1.68; CI 1.59-1.78; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Although the rates of diabetes-related ED presentations declined, PP diabetes-related presentations and subsequent hospitalisation remain high. Patient level research is required to understand the increased DKA presentations in rural youth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious life-threatening condition and can be associated with antipsychotic medication. Asian patients with diabetes exhibit less insulin resistance than Caucasians; however, all previous studies concerning antipsychotic-related DKA have been conducted in Western populations. We analyzed the rank order of the association of antipsychotic agents for schizophrenia with DKA using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database, a spontaneous reporting system database. METHODS We performed a retrospective pharmacovigilance disproportionality analysis using adverse event reports submitted to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency between April 2004 and March 2021. The study population comprised 7435 patients with schizophrenia, and the total number of antipsychotic-related DKA reports was 55. RESULTS Among the 55 cases of DKA in patients with schizophrenia, 6% (3/55) patients died after DKA. The signals of DKA were reported after treatment with olanzapine, with a significant adjusted reporting odds ratio (95% CI) of 3.26 (1.87-5.66). In 1399 olanzapine treatment cases, multivariable logistic regression analysis using a forward selection method showed that being male (adjusted RORs 2.72 (1.07-6.90)) was associated with the onset of DKA. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that treatment with olanzapine was associated with the development of DKA among patients with schizophrenia. The results also clarified that male patients were at higher risk for DKA among patients treated with olanzapine. The application of these data will aid in risk monitoring and management that may reduce the occurrence of antipsychotic-related DKA in treatment for schizophrenia.

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
BACKGROUND An increasing number of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) manage glycemia with insulin pumps containing short-acting insulin. If insulin delivery is interrupted for even a few hours due to pump or infusion site malfunction, the resulting insulin deficiency can rapidly initiate ketogenesis and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). METHODS To detect an event of accidental cessation of insulin delivery, we propose the design of ketone-based alert system (K-AS). This system relies on an extended Kalman filter based on plasma 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) measurements to estimate the disturbance acting on the insulin infusion/injection input. The alert system is based on a novel physiological model capable of simulating the ketone body turnover in response to a change in plasma insulin levels. Simulated plasma BOHB levels were compared with plasma BOHB levels available in the literature. We evaluated the performance of the K-AS on 10 in silico subjects using the S2014 UVA/Padova simulator for two different scenarios. RESULTS The K-AS achieves an average detection time of 84 and 55.5 minutes in fasting and postprandial conditions, respectively, which compares favorably and improves against a detection time of 193 and 120 minutes, respectively, based on the current guidelines. CONCLUSIONS The K-AS leverages the rapid rate of increase of plasma BOHB to achieve short detection time in order to prevent BOHB levels from rising to dangerous levels, without any false-positive alarms. Moreover, the proposed novel insulin-BOHB model will allow us to understand the efficacy of treatment without compromising patient safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening but preventable complication in people with type 1 diabetes. We aimed to quantify the incidence of DKA according to age and describe the time trend of DKA among adults with type 1 diabetes in Denmark. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Individuals aged ≥18 years with type 1 diabetes were identified from a nationwide Danish diabetes register. Hospital admissions due to DKA were ascertained from the National Patient Register. The follow-up period was from 1996 to 2020. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 24,718 adults with type 1 diabetes. The incidence rate of DKA per 100 person-years (PY) decreased with increasing age for both men and women. From 20 to 80 years of age, the DKA incidence rate decreased from 3.27 to 0.38 per 100 PY. From 1996 to 2008, the incidence rate of DKA increased for all age-groups, with a subsequent minor decrease in incidence rate until 2020. From 1996 to 2008, the incidence rates increased from 1.91 to 3.77 per 100 PY for a 20-year-old individual and from 0.22 to 0.44 per 100 PY for an 80-year-old individual living with type 1 diabetes. From 2008 to 2020 the incidence rates decreased from 3.77 to 3.27 and from 0.44 to 0.38 per 100 PY, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rates of DKA are declining for all ages, with an overall decline from 2008 for both men and women. This likely reflects improved diabetes management for individuals with type 1 diabetes in Denmark.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) remains a significant challenge for healthcare systems due to prolonged lengths of stay and rising costs. The current American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines recommend starting basal insulin after resolution of DKA. However, these guidelines have not been updated since 2009, which can potentially limit optimal care. Meanwhile, the Joint British Society guidelines on DKA management, which were more recently updated in March 2023, do advocate for early administration of basal insulin in their treatment algorithm. This article assesses the rationale and literature associated with the recommendation for early basal insulin administration in the management of DKA. Benefits of early basal insulin in this cohort appears to be associated with less rebound hyperglycemia, reduction in time to DKA resolution, reduced intravenous insulin requirements, and reduced length of stay without associated increases in hypoglycemic or hypokalemic events.

Abstract
Aims Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is not well characterised in New Zealand. This study is aimed at characterising the change in epidemiology and severity of DKA from 2000 to 2019 at a tertiary hospital in the Waikato region of New Zealand. Methods A retrospective clinical data review of all patients admitted to Waikato District Health Board hospitals with DKA was undertaken. Characteristics and severity of DKA were assessed by type of DKA admission (diagnosed at admission, nonrecurrent, and recurrent), ethnicity, social deprivation, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and length of hospital stay, with linear regression reporting on changes over time. Results There were 1254 admissions for DKA (564 individual patients), two-thirds being recurrent events. Nonrecurrent DKA patients were younger, whilst recurrent admissions for DKA were associated with T1D, female gender, greater socioeconomic deprivation, and rural living (all P values < 0.01). DKA admission increased 8-fold between 2000 and 2019, mostly due to an increased number of recurrent events, particularly in Māori and female patients (P < 0.001). ICU admissions increased over time (P < 0.001) whilst length of hospital stay trended down (P = 0.031). Conclusions The rise in recurrent DKA is concerning, particularly in youth and indigenous Māori. Healthcare inequities need to be addressed, including adequate access to mental health support to ensure optimal outcomes for all patients with diabetes.

Abstract
CONTEXT Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an endocrine emergency that can occur in people with diabetes. Its incidence is estimated to be 220,340 hospital admissions each year. Treatment algorithms include fluid resuscitation, intravenous (IV) insulin infusion, and scheduled electrolyte and glucose monitoring. The misdiagnosis of DKA in the setting of hyperglycemic emergencies results in overtreatment and unnecessary increases in healthcare utilization and costs. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to determine how often DKA is overdiagnosed in the context of other acute hyperglycemic emergencies, to describe the baseline characteristics of patients, to determine the hospital treatments for DKA, and to identify the frequency of endocrinology or diabetology consultation in the hospital setting. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted utilizing charts from three different hospitals within a hospital system. Charts were identified utilizing ICD-10 codes for admissions to the hospital for DKA. If the patient was over 18 and had one of the diagnostic codes of interest, the chart was reviewed for further details regarding the criteria for DKA diagnosis as well as admission and treatment details. RESULTS A total of 520 hospital admissions were included for review. DKA was incorrectly diagnosed in 28.4 % of the hospital admissions reviewed, based on a review of the labs and DKA diagnostic criteria. Most patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and treated with IV insulin infusion (n=288). Consultation of endocrinology or diabetology occurred in 40.2 % (n=209) of all hospital admissions, and 128 of those consults occurred in ICU admissions. The diagnosis of DKA was incorrect in 92 of the patients admitted to the medical surgical unit (MSU) and in 49 of patients admitted to the ICU. CONCLUSIONS Almost one third of hospital admissions for hyperglycemic emergencies were misdiagnosed and managed as DKA. DKA diagnostic criteria are specific; however, other diagnoses like hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS), hyperglycemia, and euglycemic DKA can make an accurate diagnosis more complicated. Education directed at improving the diagnostic accuracy of DKA among healthcare providers is needed to improve diagnostic accuracy, ensure the appropriate use of hospital resources, and potentially reduce costs to the healthcare system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous (IV) insulin infusions are the current standard of care for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Subcutaneous (SQ) insulin, however, may also be a safe and effective alternative. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare patient-centered outcomes related to the treatment of mild to moderate DKA using two different protocols: an SQ insulin protocol and an IV insulin infusion protocol with an initial bolus (IVB) or without a bolus (IVNB). METHODS We retrospectively conducted a multicenter cohort study evaluating SQ vs. IV insulin for the treatment of mild to moderate DKA. The primary outcome was time to DKA resolution. Secondary outcomes included time to glucose correction, hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit LOS, hypoglycemia events, readmission rates, and IV insulin use. RESULTS Within the study time frame, 257 patients were included in the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. There was no significant difference in the time to DKA resolution between the IVB (p = 0.603) or IVNB (p = 0.269) groups compared with the population who received SQ insulin only. Hospital LOS was significantly longer when comparing the SQ group with the IVNB group (p < 0.001), but not when comparing it with the IVB group (p = 0.259). The IV protocols had significantly more hypoglycemic events compared with the SQ protocol (IVB vs. SQ, p < 0.001; IVNB vs. SQ, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS SQ insulin may be an effective alternative option for treating mild to moderate DKA with fewer hypoglycemic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies using fast-acting subcutaneous (SQ) insulin analogs in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) have demonstrated efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness, allowing treatment of mild-to-moderate (MTM)-severity DKA patients in non-intensive care unit (ICU) settings. However, emergency department (ED)-based studies are few, with limited exploration of impacts on operational metrics. METHODS We implemented the SQuID (Subcutaneous Insulin in Diabetic Ketoacidosis) protocol for adults with MTM-severity DKA in an urban academic ED, collecting data from August 1, 2021, to February 28, 2022. We examined fidelity (frequency of required q2h glucose checks), safety (proportion of patients administered rescue dextrose for hypoglycemia), and ED length of stay (EDLOS) for the SQuID cohort compared to patients (non-ICU) treated with a traditional insulin infusion. We also examined ICU admission rate among MTM-severity DKA patients after introduction of SQuID to two historical control periods (pre-intervention and pre-COVID). We used Mann-Whitney U to test for differences in EDLOS distributions, bootstrapped (n = 1000) confidence intervals (CIs) for EDLOS median differences, and the two-sample z-test for differences in ICU admissions. RESULTS We identified 177 MTM-severity DKA patients in the study period (78 SQuID, 99 traditional cohort) and 163 preintervention and 161 pre-COVID historical control patients. Fidelity to the SQuID pathway was good, with glucose checks exceeding the q2-h requirement. We found no difference in the proportion of rescue dextrose administration compared to the traditional pathway. We observed significant reductions in median EDLOS for the SQuID cohort compared to the traditional cohort during the study period (-3.0, 95% CI -8.5 to -1.4), the preintervention period (-1.4, 95% CI -3.1 to -0.1), and the pre-COVID control period (-3.6, 95% CI -7.5 to -1.8). CONCLUSIONS In this single-center study at an academic ED, treatment of patients with MTM-severity DKA with a SQ insulin protocol was effective, demonstrated equivalent safety, and reduced ED length of stay.

Abstract
In recent years screening of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in both at risk children and general population has been widely discussed with the aim of increasing awareness of the importance to early detect (and possibly treat) at-risk children in early stages of the chronic autoimmune progression to T1D.In fact, it is well known that first-degree relatives have the highest risk of T1D, but up to 90% of children who develop T1D do not have a family history and belong to the general population.The reasons for screening children well before the clinical onset of T1D include prevention of DKA (still up to 60% children are diagnosed with DKA) and related morbidities and mortality, reducing the need for hospitalisation, time to provide emotional support and education to ensure a smooth transition to insulin treatment, and opportunities for new treatments to prevent or delay progression.There are pros and cons of screening of T1D in children, but recent evidences suggest that it is now time to consider possible a screening for T1D in children.Recently, the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) has endorsed a Position Statement, discussing the pros and cons of screening for T1D in the general population; ESPE supports national Societies for Paediatric Endocrinology to spread information on this important issue in various countries throughout Europe; the Italian Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (SIEDP-ISPED) and the Italian Society of Paediatrics (SIP) endorse this document with the specific aim of increasing awareness on screening for paediatric T1D in the general population.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis Associated with Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors: Clinical and Biochemical Characteristics of 29 Cases. Int J Endocrinol 2023; 2023:6615624. [PMID: 37441367 PMCID: PMC10335870 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6615624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To describe the clinical and biochemical characteristics of all reported cases of DKA associated with SGLT2 inhibitor use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to identify potential risk factors. Design A retrospective case series was conducted between March 2013 and August 2019 using an electronic medical record search algorithm. Results 25 patients met the criteria for DKA associated with SGLT2i use (total of 29 cases), 15 were female, average age was 54.24 years, and mean diabetes duration was 8.76 years. The majority of the patients (23 patients) had no history of prior DKA. Average blood glucose concentrations at presentation were 298.9 ± 152.7 mg/dl. Interestingly, nearly half of the episodes (14) met the criteria of euglycemic DKA (glucose <250 mg/dl). Average anion gap values were 26.59 ± 6.15 mg/dl, bicarbonate values were 11.14 ± 5.57 mg/dl, and pH values were 7.16 ± 0.12. All had positive serum and urine ketones. The most common presenting symptoms were nausea, vomiting (18 cases), and abdominal pain (10 cases). Common precipitants were poor oral intake (18 cases) and infection (10 cases). A variety of drugs were prescribed along with an SGLT2i, and 11 of the patients were using insulin. None of the cases were fatal. Comparison between euglycemic DKA and hyperglycemic DKA did not identify any significant difference. A major limitation factor of the study was the lack of control group or comparison to other antiglycemic agents to assess the relative risk. Conclusions The majority of SGLT2i-associated DKA cases occurred in patients with T2DM without prior episodes of DKA. The most common presenting symptoms were nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, while poor food intake and infection were the main precipitants. Clinicians should consider the possibility of DKA in SGLT2i-treated patients presenting with these symptoms, even in absence of marked hyperglycemia.

Development of an "all-data-on-hand" deep learning model to predict hospitalization for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). JMIR Diabetes 2023. [PMID: 37224506 PMCID: PMC10394604 DOI: 10.2196/47592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 05/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND While prior research has identified multiple risk factors for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), clinicians continue to lack clinic-ready models to predict dangerous and costly episodes of DKA. We asked whether we could apply deep learning, specifically use of a long short-term (LSTM) model, to accurately predict 180-day risk of DKA-related hospitalization for youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). OBJECTIVE To describe the development of a LSTM model to predict 180-day risk of DKA-related hospitalization for youth with T1D. METHODS We used 17 consecutive calendar quarters of clinical data (01/10/2016-03/18/2020) for 1745 youth 8 to 18-years with T1D from a pediatric diabetes clinic network in the Midwestern US. Input data included demographics, discrete clinical observations (lab results, vital signs, anthropometric measures, diagnosis and procedure codes), medications, visit counts by type of encounter, number of historic DKA episodes, number of days since last DKA admission, patient-reported outcomes (answers to clinic intake questions), and data features derived from diabetes- and non-diabetes-related clinical notes via natural language processing (NLP). We trained the model using input data from quarters 1-7 (n=1377), validated using input from quarters 3-9 in a partial out-of-sample cohort (OOS-P; n=1505), and further validated in a full out-of-sample cohort (OOS-F; n=354) with input from quarters 10-15. RESULTS DKA admissions occurred at a rate of 5% per 180-days in both OOS cohorts. For the OOS-P and OOS-F cohorts, respectively: median age was 13.7 years (IQR=11.3,15.8) and 13.1 years (10.7,15.5); and HbA1c at enrollment was 8.6% (7.6,9.8) [70 (60,84) mmol/mol] and 8.1% (6.9,9.5) [65 (52,80) mmol/mol]; 14% and 13% had prior DKA admissions (post-T1D-diagnosis); and recall was 0.33 and 0.50 for the top-ranked 5% of youth with T1D. For lists rank-ordered by probability of hospitalization, precision increased from 0.33 to 0.56 to 1.0 for positions 1-80, 1-25, and 1-10 in the OOS-P cohort and from 0.50 to 0.60 to 0.80 for positions 1-18, 1-10, and 1-5 in the OOS-F cohort. CONCLUSIONS The proposed LSTM model for predicting 180-day DKA-related hospitalization is valid in the present sample. Future work should evaluate model validity in multiple populations and settings to account for health inequities that may be present in different segments of the population (e.g., racially and/or socioeconomically diverse cohorts). Rank-ordering youth by probability of DKA-related hospitalization will allow clinics to identify the most at-risk youth. The clinical implication of this is that clinics may then create and evaluate novel preventive interventions based on available resources.

Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:85. [PMID: 37106409 PMCID: PMC10141950 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01054-5] [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: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent DKA (rDKA) remains an acute type 1 diabetes complication even in post-insulin era. This study aimed to analyze the predictors and effects of rDKA on the mortality of patients with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Patients hospitalized (n = 231) wih diabetic ketoacidosis (between 2007 and 2018) were included. Laboratorial and clinical variables were collected. Mortality curves were compared in four groups: diabetic ketoacidosis as a new-onset type 1 diabetes (group A), single diabetic ketoacidosis episode after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (group B), 2-5 diabetic ketoacidosis events (group C), and > 5 diabetic ketoacidosis events during follow-up period (group D). RESULTS During the follow-up period (approximately 1823 days), the mortality rate was 16.02% (37/231). The median age at death was 38.7 years. In the survival curve analysis, at 1926 days (5 years), the probabilities of death were indicated by ratios of 7.78%, 4.58%, 24.40%, and 26.63% in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. One diabetic ketoacidosis episode compared with ≥ 2 events had a relative risk of 4.49 (p = 0.004) of death and > 5 events had 5.81 (p = 0.04). Neuropathy (RR 10.04; p < 0.001), retinopathy (relative risk 7.94; p < 0.01), nephropathy (RR 7.10; p < 0.001), mood disorders (RR 3.57; p = 0.002), antidepressant use (RR 3.09; p = 0.004), and statin use (RR 2.81; p = 0.0024) increased the risk of death. CONCLUSIONS Patients with type 1 diabetes with > 2 diabetic ketoacidosis episodes have four times greater risk of death in 5 years. Microangiopathies, mood disorders, and use of antidepressants and statins were important risk factors for short-term mortality.

Front Public Health 2023; 11:1116713. [PMID: 37006547 PMCID: PMC10063795 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1116713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome are the two commonly known life-threatening hyperglycemic emergencies of diabetes mellitus. Despite the growing hyperglycemic emergency impact among adult patients with diabetes, its incidence and predictors have not been well studied in Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of hyperglycemic emergencies among adult patients with diabetes. Method A retrospective follow-up study design was conducted among a randomly selected sample of 453 adult patients with diabetes. Data were entered into EPI data version 4.6 and analyzed using STATA version 14.0. A Cox-proportional hazard regression model was fitted to identify the independent predictors of hyperglycemic emergencies, and variables having a p < 0.05 in the multivariable model were considered statistically significant. Result Among the total adult patients with diabetes included in the study, 147 (32.45%) developed hyperglycemic emergencies. Hence, the overall incidence of hyperglycemic emergencies was 14.6 per 100 person-years observation. The incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis was 12.5 per 100 person-years (35.6 and 6.3 among T1DM and T2DM, respectively). The incidence of the hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome was 2.1 per 100 person-years (0.9 and 2.4 among T1DM and T2DM, respectively). The overall median free survival time was 53.85 months. Type 1 diabetes mellitus [AHR = 2.75, 95% CI (1.68, 4.51)], diabetes duration of ≥ 3 years [AHR = 0.33, 95% CI (0.21, 0.50)], recent acute illness [AHR = 2.99, 95% CI (2.03, 4.43)], presence of comorbidity [AHR = 2.36, 95% CI (1.53, 3.63)], poor glycemic control [AHR = 3.47, 95% CI (2.17, 5.56)], history of medication non-compliance [AHR = 1.85,95% CI (1.24, 2.76)], follow-up frequency of 2-3 months [AHR = 1.79,95% CI (1.06, 3.01)], and without community health insurance [AHR = 1.63, 95% CI (1.14, 2.35)] were significant predictors of hyperglycemic emergencies. Conclusion The incidence of hyperglycemic emergencies was high. Therefore, giving greater attention to patients with identified predictors could decrease the occurrence of hyperglycemic emergencies and related public health and economic impacts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence of bacteremia in patients with DKA. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients aged 18 years and older with a principal diagnosis of DKA or hyperglycemic hyperosmotic syndrome (HHS) who presented to our community hospital between 2008 and 2020. Using medical records from initial visits, we retrospectively calculated the incidence of bacteremia. This was defined as the percentage of subjects with positive blood cultures except for those with contamination. RESULTS Among 114 patients with hyperglycemic emergency, two sets of blood cultures were collected in 45 of 83 patients with DKA (54%), and 22 of 31 patients with HHS (71%). The mean age of patients with DKA was 53.7 years (19.1) and 47% were male, while the mean age of patients with HHS was 71.9 years (14.9) and 65% were male. The incidences of bacteremia and blood culture positivity were not significantly different between patients with DKA and those with HHS (4.8% vs. 12.9%, P = 0.21 and 8.9% vs. 18.2%, P = 0.42, respectively). Urinary tract infection was the most common concomitant infection of bacteria, with E. coli as the main causative organism. CONCLUSION Blood cultures were collected in approximately half of the patients with DKA, despite a nonnegligible number of them testing positive in blood culture. Promoting awareness of the need for taking blood culture is imperative for the early detection and management of bacteremia in patients with DKA.

Machine learning prediction models and nomogram to predict the risk of in-hospital death for severe DKA: A clinical study based on MIMIC-IV, eICU databases, and a college hospital ICU. Int J Med Inform 2023; 174:105049. [PMID: 37001474 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2023.105049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
AIM To establish a prediction model and assess the risk factors for severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in adult patients during the ICU. INTRODUCTION With DKA hospitalization rates consistently increasing, in-hospital mortality has become a growing concern. METHODS DKA patients aged >18 years old in the US-based critical care database (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV)) were considered. Independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality were screened using extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) optimal subset regression. One predictive model was developed using machine learning extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and the other one was a nomogram based on logistic regression to estimate risks of in-hospital mortality with severe DKA. Established models were assessed by using internal validation and external validation. The MIMIC-IV was split into training and testing samples in a 7:3 ratio. The eICU Collaborative Research Database and admissions data from the department of critical care medicine of the first affiliated hospital of Harbin medical university were used for independent validation. The discriminatory ability of the model was determined by illustrating a receiver operating curve (ROC) and calculating the C-index. Meanwhile, the calibration plot and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (HL test) was conducted to evaluate the performance of our new build model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to assess the clinical net benefit. Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI) was used to compare the predictive power of the two models. RESULTS A multivariable model that included acute physiology score III (APS III), the highest levels of blood plasma osmolality (osmolarity_max), minimum osmolarity (osmolarity_min)/osmolarity _max, vasopressor, and the highest levels of blood lactate was represented as the nomogram. The C- index of the nomogram model was 0.915 (95% CI: 0.966-0.864) in the training dataset and 0.971 (95% CI: 0.992-0.950) in the internal validation. The nomogram's sensitivity was well according to all data's HL test (P > 0.05). DCA showed that our model was clinically valuable. The XGB (extreme gradient boosting) model achieved an AUC (area under the curve) of 0.950 (95% CI, 0.920-0.980); however, the nomogram model made was more effective than XGB based on NRI. CONCLUSION The predictive XGB and nomogram models for predicting in-hospital patient deaths with DKA were effective. The forecast models can help clinical physicians promptly identify patients at high risk of DKA, prevent in-hospital deaths, and promptly intervene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a significant source of preventable episodes of care and cost. This study aimed to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with DKA in an area of socio-economic deprivation in metropolitan Queensland, Australia, and to describe factors associated with hospital admission and re-presentation in this population. METHODS This was a retrospective descriptive analysis of routine healthcare record data for January 2015-December 2019. People with T1D were identified through hospital discharge codes. RESULTS More than half (n = 165) the estimated local T1D population (n = 317) experienced an index ED presentation for DKA; mean±SD age at ED presentation was 31.1 + /- 19.3 years, 126 (76.4%) were aged ≥ 16 years and 20 (12.1%) were newly diagnosed. Index DKA presentation was significantly associated with female sex (p = 0.04) but no other demographic or geographic variables. More than half the presentations (n = 92, 55.8%) occurred outside regular business hours. Twenty-three representations occurred within 90 days, associated with older age (p = 0.045) and lower residential socio-economic score (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Findings highlight the frequent problem of DKA and the importance of socio-economic influences. This flags the need and opportunity to improve support to people with T1D to promote diabetes self-care.

Abstract
Importance In the Empagliflozin Outcome Trial in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (EMPEROR-Preserved), empagliflozin significantly reduced hospitalizations for heart failure while improving patient-reported health status compared with placebo. The long-term cost-effectiveness of empagliflozin among patients who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unclear. Objective To estimate the cost-effectiveness of empagliflozin in patients with HFpEF. Design, Setting, and Participants This cost-effectiveness analysis performed from October 2021 to April 2022 included a Markov model using estimates of treatment efficacy, event probabilities, and utilities from EMPEROR-Preserved and published literature. Costs were derived from national surveys and pricing data sets. Quality of life was imputed from a heart failure-specific quality-of-life measure. Two analyses were performed, with and without a treatment effect on cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analyses were based on diabetes status, ejection fraction, and health status impairment due to heart failure. The model reproduced the event rates and risk reduction with empagliflozin observed in EMPEROR-Preserved over 26 months of follow-up; future projections extended across the lifetime of patients. Exposures Empagliflozin or standard of care. Main Outcomes and Measures Hospitalizations for heart failure, life-years, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), lifetime costs, and lifetime incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Results A total of 5988 patients were included in the analysis, with a mean age of 72 years, New York Heart Association class II to IV heart failure, and left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 40%. At the Federal Supply Schedule price of $327 per month, empagliflozin yielded 0.06 additional QALYs and $26 257 incremental costs compared with standard of care, producing a cost per QALY gained of $437 442. Incremental costs consisted of total drug costs of $29 586 and savings of $3329 from reduced hospitalizations for heart failure. Cost-effectiveness was similar across subgroups. The results were most sensitive to the monthly cost, quality-of-life benefit, and mortality effect of empagliflozin. A price reduction to $153 per month, incremental utility of 0.02, or 8% reduction in cardiovascular mortality would bring empagliflozin to $180 000 per QALY gained, the threshold for intermediate value. Using Medicare Part D monthly pricing of $375 after rebates and $511 before rebates, empagliflozin would remain low value at $509 636 and $710 825 per QALY gained, respectively. Cost-effectiveness estimates were robust to variation in the frequency and disutility of heart failure hospitalizations. Conclusions and Relevance In this economic evaluation, based on current cost-effectiveness benchmarks, empagliflozin provides low economic value compared with standard of care for HFpEF, largely due to its lack of efficacy on mortality and small benefit on quality of life.

Establishment and validation of a clinical model for predicting diabetic ketosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:967929. [PMID: 36339436 PMCID: PMC9627223 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.967929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic ketosis (DK) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization among patients with diabetes. Failure to recognize DK symptoms may lead to complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, severe neurological morbidity, and death. Purpose This study aimed to develop and validate a model to predict DK in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on both clinical and biochemical characteristics. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted by evaluating the records of 3,126 patients with T2DM, with or without DK, at The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2015 to May 2022. The patients were divided randomly into the model development (70%) or validation (30%) cohorts. A risk prediction model was constructed using a stepwise logistic regression analysis to assess the risk of DK in the model development cohort. This model was then validated using a second cohort of patients. Results The stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for DK in patients with T2DM were the 2-h postprandial C-peptide (2hCP) level, age, free fatty acids (FFA), and HbA1c. Based on these factors, we constructed a risk prediction model. The final risk prediction model was L= (0.472a - 0.202b - 0.078c + 0.005d - 4.299), where a = HbA1c level, b = 2hCP, c = age, and d = FFA. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.917 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.899-0.934; p<0.001). The discriminatory ability of the model was equivalent in the validation cohort (AUC, 0.922; 95% CI, 0.898-0.946; p<0.001). Conclusion This study identified independent risk factors for DK in patients with T2DM and constructed a prediction model based on these factors. The present findings provide an easy-to-use, easily interpretable, and accessible clinical tool for predicting DK in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients hospitalized with DKA. METHODS We examined the hospital database for patients admitted with DKA to all government hospitals in Qatar over 6 years. RESULTS We evaluated a total of 1330 patients [(37.3 % with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and 62.7 % with type 2 diabetes (T2DM)] with 1613 episodes of DKA. Patients with T2DM were older than those with T1DM [48.0 (38.0-60.0), 26.0 (21.0-31.0) years] while there was no difference in DKA severity and laboratory values on admission or time to resolution of DKA. Admission to the intensive care unit was higher (38.9 % vs. 26.6 %; P < 0.001) with a longer hospital stay [5 (2.0-9.0) vs. 2 (2.0-4.0) days, P < 0.001] and markedly higher mortality (7.4 % vs. 1 %; P < 0.001) in patients with T2DM compared to T1DM. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, significant predictors of mortality were older age (odds ratio, 1.11; 95 % CI, 1.07-1.15; P = 0.0001), and admission to the intensive care unit (odds ratio, 3.61; 95 % CI, 1.69-7.72;P = 0.001). CONCLUSION In this national cohort of patients hospitalized with DKA, those with T2DM had a 7-fold increase in inpatient mortality associated with older age and admission to the intensive care unit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGM) have many benefits in the management of type 1 diabetes. Unfortunately disparities in technology access occur in groups with increased risk for adverse effects (eg, low socioeconomic status [SES], public insurance). RESEARCH DESIGN & METHODS Using 2015 to 2016 data from 4,895 participants from the T1D Exchange Registry, a structural equation model (SEM) was fit to explore the hypothesized direct and indirect relationships between SES, insurance features, access to diabetes technology, and adverse clinical outcomes (diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia). SEM was estimated using the maximum likelihood method and standardized path coefficients are presented. RESULTS Higher SES and more generous insurance coverage were directly associated with CGM use (β = 1.52, SE = 0.12, P < .0001 and β = 1.21, SE = 0.14, P < .0001, respectively). Though SES displayed a small inverse association with pump use (β = -0.11, SE = 0.04, P = .0097), more generous insurance coverage displayed a stronger direct association with pump use (β = 0.88, SE = 0.10, P < .0001). CGM use and pump use were both directly associated with fewer adverse outcomes (β = -0.23, SE = 0.06, P = .0002 and β = -0.15, SE = 0.04, P = .0002, respectively). Both SES and insurance coverage demonstrated significant indirect effects on adverse outcomes that operated through access to diabetes technology (β = -0.33, SE = 0.09, P = .0002 and β = -0.40, SE = 0.09, P < .0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The association between SES and insurance coverage and adverse outcomes was primarily mediated through diabetes technology use, suggesting that disparities in diabetes outcomes have the potential to be mitigated by addressing the upstream disparities in technology use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) patients present with low serum bicarbonate ( HCO3-${\rm{HCO}}_{3}^{-} $ ), and an increase in its level to ≥15 mEq/L is considered one of the criteria for DKA resolution. Both proton pump inhibitors and histamine-2 receptor antagonists inhibit downstream functioning of H+ /K+ ATPase in the gastric parietal cells, which results in the decreased secretion of HCO3-${\rm{HCO}}_{3}^{-} $ into the bloodstream. OBJECTIVES We aimed to introduce the hypothesis that DKA patients on acid-suppressive medications may have a delayed rise in serum HCO3-${\rm{HCO}}_{3}^{-} $ to >15 mEq/L that may cause increased hospital length of stay (LOS) and sought to compare the outcomes of such patients. For the sake of simplicity, conditions requiring acid suppression are grouped under the term peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in this study. METHODS This is a retrospective study using Nationwide Inpatient Sample employing International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes for adult patients with a primary diagnosis of DKA. Analyses were performed using STATA, proportions were compared using Fisher exact test, and continuous variables using Student's t-test. Confounding variables were adjusted using propensity matching, multivariate logistic, and linear regression analyses. RESULTS DKA patients with PUD had higher adjusted LOS, intensive care unit admission, and total hospital costs. Mortality and morbidity indicators were similar in both groups. The variables found to be independent predictors of increased LOS were malnutrition, Clostridium difficile infection, pneumonia, Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3-8, and higher Charlson comorbidity score. CONCLUSION We found that Clostridium difficile and pneumonia predicted longer LOS in DKA patients with concomitant PUD, hinting at the possible role of acid suppression in prolonging the LOS in such patients. However, further studies are needed to examine the effect of lesser HCO3-${\rm{HCO}}_{3}^{-} $ generation on LOS.

Abstract
This article summarises the Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care guidelines on the management of ketoacidosis; available at https://abcd.care/resource/management-diabetic-ketoacidosis-dka-adults. The document explicitly states that when a person aged 16-18 is under the care of the paediatric team, then the paediatric guideline should be used, and if they are cared for by an adult team, then this guideline should be used. The guideline takes into account new evidence on the use of the previous version of this document, particularly the high prevalence of hypoglycaemia and hypokalaemia, and recommends that when the glucose concentration drops below 14 mmol/L, that de-escalating the insulin infusion rate from 0.1 to 0.05 units/kg/h should be considered. Furthermore, a section has been added to address the recognition that use of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors is associated with an increased risk of euglycaemic ketoacidosis. The management of ketoacidosis in people with end-stage renal failure or on dialysis is also mentioned. Finally, the algorithms to illustrate the guideline have been updated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this research, data of the DehPCS study were used to assess the validity of self-reported diabetes based on the reference criteria, including the history of taking oral anti-diabetic drugs, insulin injection, or high fasting blood sugar. METHODS A cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 4400 participants of the DehPCS study, aged 35-70 years. The reference criteria were oral hypoglycemic drug consumption, insulin injection, and/ or fasting blood sugar ≥126 (mg/dl). The self-reporting diabetes was investigated by well-trained interviewers before the diabetes diagnosis based on the reference criteria. The validity of self-reporting diabetes was assessed using sensitivity, specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive values. Socio-demographic correlates of self-reported agreement were examined by multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS Three thousand nine hundred ninety-six people participated in this study, and the participation rate was equal to 90.8%. The diabetes prevalence among the study population was 13.1% based on self-reports and 9.7% based on the reference criteria. Five hundred twenty-three participants reported diabetes, 213 (41.28%) of whom did not have it. We found a good agreement of 92.3% with an acceptable kappa value of 65.1% between self-reporting diabetes and the reference criteria. Diabetes self-reporting also guaranteed sensitivity of 78.5%, specificity of 93.9%, as well as the positive and negative predictive values of 58.7% and of 98.0%, respectively. Being female, the higher economic class, the higher body mass index (BMI), and the positive family history of diabetes increased the chance of false positive. Being male, older ages and the moderate economic class increased the chance of false positive. CONCLUSION Self-reporting diabetes is identified as a relatively valid tool which could fairly determine the diabetes prevalence in epidemiological studies. It should be noted that its validity is influenced by some socio-demographic characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have been used as the standard of care for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Recently, dapagliflozin has been shown to reduce diabetic nephropathy when added to the standard of care. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the cost effectiveness of dapagliflozin added to the standard of care in diabetic nephropathy in the United States of America (USA). METHODS A Markov model was developed to determine the cost-effectiveness outcomes from the Medicare/Medicaid health coverage perspective. Model inputs were derived from the literature. The primary outcomes were total costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to determine the robustness of our results. A willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 per QALY was applied, which is based on previous studies. RESULTS Dapagliflozin yielded a lifetime QALY of 2.8. The discounted QALY associated with the standard of care was 2.6. The standard of care was the less costly treatment with a lifetime cost of $106,150.25 as compared with dapagliflozin, which costs $110,689.25. Dapagliflozin demonstrated an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $21,141.51 per additional QALY. The most influential parameters of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio were the adverse drug reaction-related cost of the standard of care and dapagliflozin, the acquisition cost, and the adverse drug reaction-related cost of dapagliflozin. The effects and costs of the interventions were consistent between base-case analyses and the probabilistic model (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio: $19,023.35 [$13,637.8-$27,483.1]). CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin added to the standard of care was cost effective relative to the standard of care alone in the USA for patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin pump use in type 1 diabetes management has significantly increased in recent years, but we have few data on its impact on inpatient admissions for acute diabetes complications. METHODS We used the 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2019 Kids' Inpatient Database to identify all-cause type 1 diabetes hospital admissions in those with and without documented insulin pump use and insulin pump failure. We described differences in (1) prevalence of acute diabetes complications, (2) severity of illness during hospitalization and disposition after discharge, and (3) length of stay (LOS) and inpatient costs. RESULTS We identified 228 474 all-cause admissions. Insulin pump use was documented in 7% of admissions, of which 20% were due to pump failure. The prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was 47% in pump nonusers, 39% in pump users, and 60% in those with pump failure. Admissions for hyperglycemia without DKA, hypoglycemia, sepsis, and soft tissue infections were rare and similar across all groups. Admissions with pump failure had a higher proportion of admissions classified as major severity of illness (14.7%) but had the lowest LOS (1.60 days, 95% CI 1.55-1.65) and healthcare costs ($13 078, 95% CI $12 549-$13 608). CONCLUSIONS Despite the increased prevalence of insulin pump in the United States, a minority of pediatric admissions documented insulin pump use, which may represent undercoding. DKA admission rates were lower among insulin pump users compared to pump nonusers. Improved accuracy in coding practices and other approaches to identify insulin pump users in administrative data are needed, as are interventions to mitigate risk for DKA.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a form of a hyperglycemic emergency mainly characterized by the triad of hyperglycemia, ketosis, and anion gap metabolic acidosis. DKA may be the initial presentation in approximately 25-40 % of patients with type 1 diabetes. It may also occur in at least 34% of patients with type 2 diabetes. DKA has economic as well as medical implications. This review aims to explore and discuss diabetic ketoacidosis, its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management, including nuances in special populations such as pediatrics, obstetrics, and patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency of diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis and associated factors in COVID-19-positive patients. BACKGROUND High mortality amongst SARS-Cov2 patients may be attributed to diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis. METHODS A total of 220 COVID-19 positive patients, hospitalized in North West General Hospital & Research Center, Peshawar, KP, Pakistan, from April to September 2020, were analysed using STATA 14. Patients with positive PCR were labelled as COVID-19 positive and were included in the study. Patients with a clinical picture of COVID-19 and negative PCR were excluded from the study. Those having ketonemia >0.6 and random blood glucose level >250mg/dl, while HCO3 (bicarbonate) ≤18, were labelled as diabetic ketoacidosis. The statistical significance level was set at p < .05. RESULTS A total of 220 COVID-19 patients were admitted; 166 (75.4%) were male and 54 (24.5%) were female. The mean age in years of the patients was 55.95 (SD13.9). About 57.7% of patients had diabetes mellitus, and 15 (6.8%) patients developed diabetic ketoacidosis. Amongst those with DKA, 5 patients died during hospital admission. The use of steroids was significantly higher (p < .001) in the DKA group compared with non-DKA patients. Hypertension (103,46.8%) and fever (170,77.3%) were the most reported comorbidity and symptom respectively. CONCLUSION The proportion of diabetes mellitus is high in patients with COVID-19. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a frequent complication in this group associated with in-hospital mortality. Steroid administration for COVID-19 should be balanced with strict glycemic control to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis and increase hospital survival.

Abstract
This article is the work product of the Continuous Ketone Monitoring Consensus Panel, which was organized by Diabetes Technology Society and met virtually on April 20, 2021. The panel consisted of 20 US-based experts in the use of diabetes technology, representing adult endocrinology, pediatric endocrinology, advanced practice nursing, diabetes care and education, clinical chemistry, and bioengineering. The panelists were from universities, hospitals, freestanding research institutes, government, and private practice. Panelists reviewed the medical literature pertaining to ten topics: (1) physiology of ketone production, (2) measurement of ketones, (3) performance of the first continuous ketone monitor (CKM) reported to be used in human trials, (4) demographics and epidemiology of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), (5) atypical hyperketonemia, (6) prevention of DKA, (7) non-DKA states of fasting ketonemia and ketonuria, (8) potential integration of CKMs with pumps and automated insulin delivery systems to prevent DKA, (9) clinical trials of CKMs, and (10) the future of CKMs. The panelists summarized the medical literature for each of the ten topics in this report. They also developed 30 conclusions (amounting to three conclusions for each topic) about CKMs and voted unanimously to adopt the 30 conclusions. This report is intended to support the development of safe and effective continuous ketone monitoring and to apply this technology in ways that will benefit people with diabetes.

Comparative Safety of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors Versus Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitors and Sulfonylureas on the Risk of Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Diabetes Care 2022; 45:919-927. [PMID: 35147696 PMCID: PMC9114717 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-2177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors with diabetic ketoacidosis compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and sulfonylureas in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a new-user active comparator cohort study to examine two pairwise comparisons: 1) SGLT2 inhibitors versus DPP-4 inhibitors and 2) SGLT2 inhibitors versus sulfonylureas. The main outcome was diabetic ketoacidosis present on hospital admission. We adjusted for confounders through propensity score matching. We used Cox proportional hazards regression with a robust variance estimator to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% CIs while adjusting for calendar time. RESULTS In cohort 1 (n = 85,125 for SGLT2 inhibitors and n = 85,125 for DPP-4 inhibitors), the incidence rates of diabetic ketoacidosis per 1,000 person-years were 6.0 and 4.3 for SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP4 inhibitors, respectively. In cohort 2 (n = 72,436 for SGLT2 inhibitors and n = 72,436 for sulfonylureas), the incidence rates of diabetic ketoacidosis per 1,000 person-years were 6.3 and 4.5 for SGLT2 inhibitors and sulfonylureas, respectively. In Cox proportional hazards regression models, the use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with a higher rate of diabetic ketoacidosis compared with DPP-4 inhibitors (adjusted HR [aHR] 1.63; 95% CI 1.36, 1.96) and sulfonylureas (aHR 1.56; 95% CI 1.30, 1.87). CONCLUSIONS In this comparative safety study using real-world data, patients with type 2 diabetes who were newly prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors had a higher rate of diabetic ketoacidosis compared with DPP-4 inhibitors and sulfonylureas. Clinicians should be vigilant about this association.
