Changes in the Frequency of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Type I Diabetes Mellitus Cases at Diagnosis: A Fifteen-Year Single Center Experience

Abstract: . The symptom duration was significantly lower and DKA frequency was higher in ≤5 year-old patients (p<0.001, p<0.004, respectively). The most prevalent symptoms were polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss. The patients were diagnosed mostly (61.5%) in autumn and winter. Conclusion: This study showed that the frequency of DKA among children with newly diagnosed T1DM in our country is still high. This indicates a persistent need to increase awareness of the symptoms of diabetes.

“…A multicenter study from Europe was showed newly diagnosed DKA patients had symptoms at least two weeks (12). Articles from Turkey also reported that period before DKA diagnosis was usually two weeks (7,10,13). In our study, we reached our study populations admission time was same as other reports in literature.…”

“…The severity of DKA at presentation has been previously investigated. Acar et al 27 found severe DKA in 22.1%, moderate in 32.8% and mild in 45.1% at the time of first presentation. In a study from Germany 30 , the majority of these cases (63.8%) had no ketoacidosis, while 16.6% had mild, 12.1% moderate, and 4% severe ketoacidosis at the time of diagnosis.…”

“…Ardicli et al 14 reported the frequency of diagnosis with DKA to be 50.5% between 1990-2000 and 51.0% between 2000-2010. Acar et al 27 found the incidence of DKA to be 43.2% in patients with a new diagnosis of T1DM between 1999 and 2014. In our cohort the overall rate of DKA presentation was 46.6%, which is consistent with earlier Turkish reports.…”
