Figure 5From: Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome after renal transplantation in the United StatesMortality after hospitalization for diabetic ketoacidosis (diabetic ketoacidosis). diabetic ketoacidosis was associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality after renal transplantation and was fairly constant over time. diabetic ketoacidosis was independently associated with mortality compared to renal transplant recipients who did not have diabetic ketoacidosis (by Cox non-proportional hazards regression analysis, adjusted hazard ratio = 2.44, 95% CI, 2.10–2.85, p < 0.0001).Back to article page
