diabetic Ketoacidosis is the leading cause of mortality in children and adolescents with T1DM and accounts for about 50% of all deaths in patients younger than 24 years with diabetes. It affects 8 out of 1000 people with diabetes annually, with a worldwide mortality rate of 2-10%. The purpose of this study is to assess the knowledge and practice towards DKA among patients with diabetes attending three diabetes clinics in Khartoum.
we conducted a cross-sectional institution-based study. It included all patients with diabetes attending three diabetes clinics in Khartoum state over the period July - September 2016. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess and score knowledge and practice towards DKA among patients with diabetes. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0.
one hundred and ten patients participated in the study, of whom 86 had heard of DKA and were questioned further. Fifty-six point nine percent of participants had poor knowledge (0-8 out of 24) and low practice scores (0-2 out of 6). There was a strong association between knowledge scores and attended clinics.
there was an evident lack of knowledge and poor practice towards DKA among patients with diabetes attending diabetes clinics in Khartoum, Sudan.
糖尿病酮症酸中毒（DKA）是 T1DM 患儿死亡的主要原因，约占糖尿病患者 24 岁以下死亡人数的 50%。它每年影响每 1000 名糖尿病患者中的 8 人，全球死亡率为 2-10%。本研究旨在评估在喀土穆的三个糖尿病诊所就诊的糖尿病患者对 DKA 的认知和实践情况。
我们进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。它包括在 2016 年 7 月至 9 月期间在喀土穆州的三个糖尿病诊所就诊的所有糖尿病患者。使用自我管理问卷评估和评分糖尿病患者对 DKA 的认知和实践。使用 SPSS 23.0 对数据进行分析。
有 110 名患者参加了这项研究，其中 86 名听说过 DKA 并进一步询问。56.9%的参与者知识得分差（0-8 分），实践得分低（0-2 分）。知识得分与就诊的诊所之间存在很强的关联。
在苏丹喀土穆的糖尿病诊所就诊的糖尿病患者对 DKA 的认知和实践明显不足。
