Analysis of Incident DKA in the Indiana New Onset T1D Patient Population

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life threatening complication of type 1 diabetes (T1D) resulting from ketone body production and metabolic acidosis occurring due to insulin deficiency, We sought to define the occurrence of DKA amongst pediatric patients presenting with new onset T1D in Indiana and to determine whether patterns of DKA were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a retrospective chart review for pediatric patients admitted to Riley Children's Hospital with a clinical diagnosis of new onset T1D who had available chemistry values. Patients diagnosed from March 23-June 30, 2020 and over the same period in 2019 were included. DKA was classified as mild (bicarbonate 10-15 mmol/L) or severe (bicarbonate <10 mmol/l). Ninety-four patients met inclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in rates of DKA (21 in 2019 vs. 25 in 2020; p>0.05). DKA was present in nearly half of all new onset pediatric T1D cases in Indiana in 2019 and 2020. There was no observed impact of the COVI0-I9 pandemic on T10 or DKA.
