Frequency and Risk Factors of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Specialized Children’s Hospital, Riyadh: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract

Most DKA episodes were in patients with known T1DM and missing insulin was the leading cause of DKA. In addition to awareness campaigns to prevent DKA as an initial presentation, intervention strategies should also target high-risk groups of known patients of T1DM such as adolescents and patients with recurrent episodes.
