Background: Diabetic Ketoacidosis is one of the leading causes of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Recently, evidence suggests that procalcitonin (PCT) and lactate levels are helpful prognostic markers for diabetic ketoacidosis. Objective: To assess the PCT and serum lactate levels as predictors for morbidity and mortality in DKA patients admitted to the ICU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
