Objective: Our aim is to determine the severity, clinical features, presence of complications and outcome differences
in previously diagnosed and newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients followed up with diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA) in the pediatric intensive care unit.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively in a 32-bed tertiary pediatric intensive care unit.
The patients were divided into newly diagnosed and previously diagnosed T1DM. All collected data were compared
between groups.
Results: 107 patients were included into the study. Most of the patients were male (51.4%). Most of the newly diagnosed
patients were in the 6-10 age group (49.2%). When patient complaints were evaluated before admission, the complaint
of nausea was statistically higher in previously diagnosed DM patients (p=0.041). The complaints of fatigue, polyuria,
polydipsia, and weight loss were statistically higher in newly diagnosed Type-1 DM (p value 0.001, 0.001, 0.001,
0.001, respectively). Hypokalemia was statistically higher in the newly diagnosed DM group during diabetic ketoacidosis
treatment (p=0.015). Although there was no difference between intensive care durations, total hospitalization days were
statistically longer in newly diagnosed DM patients (p values 0.145, 0.007, respectively). All patients survived.
Conclusion: The school age group was the most common age group in newly diagnosed T1DM. While polyuria,
polydipsia and weight loss are common in newly diagnosed Diabetic Ketoacidosis patients; Vomiting was common in
diabetic ketoacidosis patients with previous diagnosis. Trainings, national advertisements, etc. should be done to increase
the knowledge level of patients and families about these symptoms and the disease.
Amaç: Amacımız, çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde diyabetik ketoasidoz (DKA) ile takip edilen daha önce tanı almış ve yeni tanı almış Tip 1
Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) hastalarının şiddeti, klinik özellikleri, komplikasyon varlığı ve sonuç farklılıklarını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, 32 yataklı üçüncü basamak çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde geriye dönük olarak yapıldı. Hastalar yeni
tanı almış ve önceden tanı almış T1DM olarak ayrıldı. Toplanan tüm veriler gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: 107 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların çoğu erkekti (%51.4). Yeni tanı alan hastaların çoğu 6-10 yaş grubundaydı (%49.2).
Başvuru öncesi hasta şikâyetleri değerlendirildiğinde kusma şikayeti, daha önce tanı almış DM hastalarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
derecede yüksekti (p=0.041). Yeni tanı alan Tip-1 DM’de halsizlik, poliüri, polidipsi, kilo kaybı şikâyetleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede
yüksekti (p değeri sırasıyla 0.001, 0.001, 0.001, 0.001). Diyabetik ketoasidoz tedavisi sırasında yeni tanı almış DM grubunda hipokalemi
istatistiksel olarak daha yüksekti (p=0.015). Yoğun bakım süreleri arasında fark olmamasına rağmen yeni tanı konmuş DM hastalarında
toplam yatış günleri istatistiksel olarak daha uzundu (p değerleri sırasıyla 0.145, 0.007). Hastalarda mortalite görülmedi.
Sonuç: Okul yaş grubu, yeni tanı konan T1DM’de en sık görülen yaş grubuydu. Yeni tanı Diyabetik Ketoasidoz hastalarında poliüri,
polidipsi, kilo kaybı sık iken; eski tanılı diyabetik ketoasidoz hastalarında kusma yaygın olarak saptandı. Hastalar ve ailelerin bu semptomlar
ve hastalık hakkında bilgi düzeyini artırıcı eğitimler, ulusal reklamlar vb uygulamalar yapılmalıdır.
