Trends in aetiology treatment and complications associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) – a 6-year study at a large tertiary care centre in the West Midlands United Kingdom

摘要

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute endocrine emergency that requires immediate diagnosis and management. Effective management of DKA in accordance with national guidelines improves clinical outcomes and may reduce long hospital stays. Recent studies have shown that frequent audit cycles, performance feedback and regular feedback of specific clinical criteria are necessary to sustain improvements in DKA management.
