Crude and Age-Adjusted Hospital Discharge Rates for Diabetic Ketoacidosis as First-Listed Diagnosis per 1,000 Diabetic Population, United States, 1980-2003
After peaking in the mid 1980s, the crude and age-adjusted hospital discharge rate for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as the first-listed diagnosis per 1,000 diabetic population showed little change in the mid-to-late 1980s, and then began decreasing onward until 2000. During this period, trends in crude and age-adjusted hospital discharge rates for DKA were similar until the years 2001-2003 when a slight increase in trend was observed for the crude rate.
