Risk factors of diabetic ketoacidosis among patients with diabetes attending at public hospitals of East Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia: an unmatched case - control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a critical and potentially fatal complication predominantly seen in individuals diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), though it may also arise in those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) under specific circumstances. Although DKA is preventable through effective diabetes management strategies, the consequences can be severe if the condition is not addressed promptly. The timely recognition of DKA, coupled with suitable medical treatment, is essential to enhance patient outcomes and mitigate the risk of enduring complications related to this condition. The objective of this research was to identify the risk factors of DKA in diabetic patients receiving care at public hospitals in the East Gojjam Zone of Northwestern Ethiopia.
