In a retrospective study of patients presenting with hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic non-ketotic coma no evidence was obtained to suggest that the condition occurs more commonly in black patients. Suspicions that poor social background rather than race predisposes patients to the condition are borne out by the fact that 10 of the 13 patients were socially isolated.
在一项针对高渗性高血糖非酮症昏迷患者的回顾性研究中,没有证据表明该病症在黑人患者中更常见。13名患者中有10名在社会上处于孤立状态,这一事实证实了如下怀疑,即导致患者患该病症的是社会背景不佳而非种族因素。
