Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious mortality and morbidity rates. The main cause of DKA are noncompli Study objectives: The main objective hospitalization patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) Methods and patients: A retrospective study design was conducted. A total of 150 files of patients with DKA were included. Files with complete information and data regarding DKA were included. Study variables included demographic variables such as age and gender; clinical presentations of patients with DKA such as abdominal pain, and polyuria; precipitating factors for DKA including infection and non biochemical files of DKA patients including glucose level, and white blood cells. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.Study results: Study findings showed that males were more likely to develop DKA, and age group under 20 years old were more prone to develop DKA. The most common clinical presentations included general body malaise, polydipsia ll, and polyuria. The most common precip treatment and infections. Biochemical profile showed high level were consistent with DKA. Conclusion:The findings of the present study confirmed the study hypothesis stating that the most precipitating factors of DKA patients in Jordan are non Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious acute complications in diabetes patients. DKA increased morbidity rates. The main cause of DKA are noncompliance on insulin and infections. The main objective of this study is to identify the main precipitating factor admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) in Jordan. A retrospective study design was conducted. A total of 150 files of patients with DKA were included. Files with complete information and data regarding DKA were included. Study variables included h as age and gender; clinical presentations of patients with DKA such as abdominal pain, and polyuria; precipitating factors for DKA including infection and non-adherence to insulin treatment; and biochemical files of DKA patients including glucose level, creatinine, urea, and blood levels including hemoglobin and white blood cells. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.Study findings showed that males were more likely to develop DKA, and age group under 20 years develop DKA. The most common clinical presentations included general body malaise, The most common precipitating factors for DKA includes non-adherence to insulin and infections. Biochemical profile showed high level of glucose (570 ±178 mg/dl), and other parametersThe findings of the present study confirmed the study hypothesis stating that the most precipitating factors of DKA patients in Jordan are non-adherence to insulin treatment and infections.
