| Popis: | Background: Hyperglycemic emergencies (HGEs) are the major deadliest acute complications of diabetes. HGEs have reached an alarming stage and increased year-to-year leading to increased morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality. Despite HGEs causing this increased healthcare, psychological, social, and economic burden, studies conducted to address this burden and its predictive factors remain limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of HGEs among adult diabetic patients. Methods: An institution-based retrospective follow-up study was employed on 538 systematically selected adult diabetic patients who had diabetic follow-up in Sidama region and Gedeo zone public hospitals from September 1, 2018, to September 1, 2022. The sample size was determined using STATA V-14. Data were collected using an extraction checklist, entered into EPI data version 4.4.2.2, and analyzed using STATA version 14. The Kaplan–Meier curve and log-rank test were used to determine the survival probabilities and to compare the survival status. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to determine the association and identify the predictor variables. A statistical significance was declared at a p -value of |
