Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Diabetes Mellitus Research

Background:

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes.
  • Understanding recurrence patterns is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the recurrence patterns of diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • To identify patient subgroups at higher risk for recurrent DKA.

Main Methods:

  • A 15-year retrospective study.
  • Inclusion of 505 patients with 740 DKA episodes.
  • Definition of recurrent DKA as ≥3 episodes within 4 years.

Main Results:

  • 113 patients experienced recurrent DKA, with 90% occurring within 4 years.
  • 39 patients met the criteria for frequent recurrences (≥3 episodes/4 years).
  • High-risk groups identified: girls <20 years and women >59 years.
  • Younger patients had diverse causes; older patients had comorbidities complicating diabetes.

Conclusions:

  • Recurrent DKA is common, particularly within the first four years post-initial episode.
  • Adolescent girls and elderly women are identified as key risk groups for frequent DKA recurrence.
  • Emphasizes the importance of diligent home care and supervision for elderly diabetic patients with chronic conditions, especially those on insulin therapy.
