The burden and pattern of diabetic eye diseases among persons living with diabetes in the commercial city of Aba, Nigeria is not known. This study, therefore, set out to determine this. This was a 6-year retrospective st… Show more
“…In Jamaica, inpatient mortality has been reported as 6.7% in DKA admissions, 20.3% in HHS, and 25% in mixed DKA/HHS admissions (39). In Nigeria, inpatient mortality has been reported as 2.7% in DKA, 0.9% in HHS, and 3.6% in mixed DKA/HHS (40).…”
The American Diabetes Association (ADA), European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS), American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), and Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) convened a panel of internists and diabetologists to update the ADA consensus statement on hyperglycemic crises in adults with diabetes, published in 2001 and last updated in 2009. The objective of this consensus report is to provide up-to-date knowledge about the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) in adults. A systematic examination of publications since 2009 informed new recommendations. The target audience is the full spectrum of diabetes health care professionals and individuals with diabetes.
