Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS), are two acute complications of diabetes that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Many patients present with combined features of DKA and HHS. Infection from different sources is one of the most common causes of DKA/HHS precipitations in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study we aim to analyze the impact of different sources of infections (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, cellulitis) on DKA/HHS hospitalizations.
