Crude and Age-Adjusted Death Rates for Diabetic Ketoacidosis as Underlying Cause per 100,000 Diabetic Population, United States, 1980–2001
From 1980 to 2001, both crude and age-adjusted death rates for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as an underlying cause of death per 100,000 diabetic population decreased, with a greater decline in the crude death rate. The larger decline in the crude DKA death rate reflects greater decreases in death rates among those 65 years and older than among those younger.
