Hospital admission trends for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in England have been examined as part of a cohort study.
In the previous two decades the number of adults being admitted to hospital with DKA has increased and associated healthcare performance did not improve, except decreased length of hospital stay.
The study involved 23,246 adults with type 1 diabetes and 241,441 adults with type 2 diabetes from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and Hospital Episode Statistics.
All hospital admissions for DKA as the primary diagnosis from 1998 to 2013 were identified. Trends in hospital admission for DKA in incidence, length of hospital stay, 30-day all-cause readmission rate, and 30-day and one-year all-cause mortality rates were determined using joinpoint regression, negative binomial regression, and logistic regression models.
