Diabetic ketoacidosis admissions at Middlemore Hospital: observational study of cause and patient demographics.

CONCLUSION: Non-adherence is a major cause of DKA admissions at Middlemore Hospital. When compared to the regional census data, there is over-representation of Pasifika and Māori population and those of lower socioeconomic status in those admitted with DKA. Similar pattern was seen in those with non-adherence as the cause of DKA and those with recurrent DKAs. PMID: 33223546 [PubMed - in process]
