Demographics, medication use, and admission characteristics of patients hospitalized with diabetes in Ontario, Canada: A retrospective cohort study
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic medical conditions, affecting roughly one third of all patients hospitalized on an internal medicine ward and is associated with other comorbidities and longer hospital stays. ICD-10-CA codes were highly accurate in identifying patients with diabetes. The development of an inpatient cohort will allow for further study of in-hospital practices and outcomes among patients with diabetes.
