We report a study contrasting the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis in a teaching hospital by physicians trained in endocrinology as compared to those internists who have not been trained specifically in that specialty. Parameters studied included patterns of laboratory usage and length of hospital stay. The period of hospitalization was similar in the two groups: 5.17 days in the group treated by endocrinologists, as compared to 5.00 days for those treated by nonendocrinologists. However, the total number, as well as the average number per patient per hospital day, of laboratory tests and x-ray procedures was notably increased in the endocrinologists group as compared to the nonendocrinologist group: 52.99 to 45.28 and 10.25 to 9.06, respectively.
我们报告了一项研究，该研究对比了教学医院中接受内分泌学培训的内科医生与未接受该专业专门培训的内科医生对糖尿病酮症酸中毒的治疗情况。研究的参数包括实验室检查的使用模式和住院时间。两组的住院时间相似：内分泌科医生治疗组为5.17天，而非内分泌科医生治疗组为5.00天。然而，与非内分泌科医生组相比，内分泌科医生组的实验室检查和X光检查的总数以及每位患者每天的平均数量显著增加：分别为52.99对45.28以及10.25对9.06。
