title: [Treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis in adults in Denmark--need for national guidelines. Secondary publication].
abstract: This study examines variations in treatment routines for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in Denmark. All departments of internal medicine in Denmark managing DKA were invited to complete a questionnaire. 88% replied. The study shows significant variations in management routines of DKA in Denmark. In many cases, the routines are not supported by evidence from clinical trials. National guidelines for the management of DKA in adult patients are needed.
