    Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) caused most deaths in children with Type I diabetes mellitus. Early recognition and prompt treatment of DKA could significantly reduce childhood diabetes mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Endocrinology
    • Diabetes Mellitus Research

    Background:

    • Type I diabetes mellitus treatment has improved, but acute mortality persists in children.
    • Understanding mortality causes in pediatric diabetes patients is crucial for improving outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review diabetes-associated mortality in children and adolescents.
    • To identify the primary causes of death in this population between 1950 and 1985.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 55 deaths in patients with Type I diabetes mellitus.
    • Analysis of mortality causes, focusing on diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and onset timing.

    Main Results:

    • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was linked to 64% of total mortality.

  • Cerebral edema occurred in 31% of DKA-related deaths.
  • No deaths were attributed to long-term vascular complications of diabetes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a predominant, preventable cause of mortality in children with Type I diabetes.
    • Early detection and prompt treatment of DKA are vital for reducing childhood diabetes mortality.
