Magnitude, risk factors and economic impacts of diabetic emergencies in developing countries: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) and severe hypoglycemia are considered as the life-threatening diabetic emergencies of diabetic patients worldwide. As the prevalence of diabetes grows in developing countries, so too does the impact of these costly human and economic complications. Noticeable scarcity of data concerning the magnitude, the cost expenditures as well as well unidentified predictors of these complications made the management more difficult in the resource limited health care settings. Thus, this systematic review aimed to assess the magnitude, risk factors and economic impacts of diabetes emergencies among diabetic patients in the developing countries.
