Comparison of clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes between initially diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis
Objective: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) can present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as the first manifestation. Differentiating types of newly diagnosed diabetes could provide appropriate long-term management. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes between initially diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients presenting with DKA. Materials and
methods: A retrospective study was conducted on adult patients who presented with DKA as the first diagnosis of diabetes in our tertiary hospital between January 2005 and December 2019. Demographic data, precipitating causes, laboratory investigations, treatment, and outcomes were obtained by chart review. The primary outcome was to compare the clinical characteristics of initially diagnosed patients with T1DM and T2DM who presented with DKA.
Results: A total of 100 initially diagnosed diabetic pati ents who presented with DKA were analyzed (85 T2DM patients and 15 T1DM patients). Patients with T1DM were younger than patients with T2DM (mean age 33 ± 16.2 vs. 51 ± 14.5 years, p value < 0.001). Patients with T2DM had a higher body mass index, family history of diabetes, precipitating factors, plasma glucose, and lower renal function than those with T1DM. There was no difference in resolution time or DKA management between T1DM and T2DM patients. The overall mortality rate of DKA was 4%.
Conclusion: In this population, most adult patients who presented with DKA had T2DM. Older age, obesity, a family history of diabetes, and the presence of precipitating factors were strong predictors of T2DM. We can implement the same clinical management for DKA in both T1DM and T2DM patients. However, T2DM patients had longer hospitalization than T1DM patients. After DKA resolution for 12 months, more than half of patients with T2DM could discontinue insulin. Therefore, the accurate classification of the type of diabetes leads to appropriate treatment. © The Author(s) 2024.
