Age-Adjusted Hospital Discharge Rates for Diabetic Ketoacidosis as First-Listed Diagnosis per 1,000 Diabetic Population, by Sex, United States 1980-2003
Starting from 1980, the age-adjusted hospital discharge rates for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as the first-listed diagnosis were similar until 1989, when rates were generally higher for men than for women with diabetes. After peaking in the mid 1980s, age-adjusted DKA rates declined for both men and women until the years 2001-2003 where a slight rate increase was observed. In 2003, age-adjusted DKA rates were 30.1 per 1,000 men with diabetes and 24.3 per 1,000 women with diabetes.
