Etiologies and Outcomes of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Cancer Patients: A Retrospective Analysis
We characterized the precipitating factors for DKA based on patients' underlying diabetes status. While insulin non-adherence was the most common cause in patients with known type 1 diabetes, drugs associated with cancer related treatments emerged most common precipitating factor for DKA in cancer patients with underlying type 2 diabetes or drug induced diabetes. A tailored approach with proactive counseling may be helpful in timely recognition and treatment of DKA in cancer patients.
