Title: Mastering the Art of Writing a Literature Review on Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Crafting a literature review on diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can be an arduous task, requiring
meticulous research, analysis, and synthesis of existing scholarly works. DKA, a serious complication
of diabetes, demands thorough exploration to understand its complexities, treatment modalities, and
advancements in medical science. However, navigating through the vast array of literature while
ensuring coherence and relevance poses significant challenges for researchers and students alike.

One of the primary hurdles in writing a literature review on DKA lies in the sheer volume and
diversity of available sources. From peer-reviewed journals and academic publications to conference
proceedings and clinical trials, the breadth of literature can be overwhelming. Identifying the most
pertinent studies, extracting relevant information, and discerning their significance demand both time
and expertise.

Furthermore, synthesizing the findings from disparate sources into a cohesive narrative presents
another layer of difficulty. Researchers must critically analyze each study's methodology, results, and
conclusions to draw meaningful connections and identify gaps in existing knowledge. Crafting a
narrative that effectively communicates these insights while maintaining clarity and coherence
requires precision and attention to detail.

Moreover, the evolving nature of medical research necessitates staying abreast of the latest
developments and breakthroughs in the field of DKA management. Integrating current evidence-
based practices and emerging trends adds complexity to the literature review process, requiring
researchers to continuously update their knowledge and refine their arguments.

On day 2 since DKA resolution, Clostridium difficile toxin tested positive and oral vancomycin
treatment was started. All of these studies relied on patient self-report to determine occurrence of
DKA events, and the recall period varied from three to 12 months. For two publications, cumulative
incidence was calculated (number of new DKA events out of total patients at risk) because data on
incidence rates were not directly reported in the publications. Subgroup analyses were performed
using data from no more than two studies per subgroup. Nieuwdorp M, van Haeften TW,

contrast, subgroup data for patients categorised based on other baseline characteristics, such as sex,

specifically on DKA outcomes and employ population-based methods to identify patients with T1D
and would therefore be more representative of a broad, unselected patient population. Most (16 of
19) studies had approximately a 1:1 male-to-female ratio of patients. Furthermore, many publications
did not describe whether (or how) the included patient cohort differed from the broader population
of adults with T1D, which makes an evaluation of potential selection bias, and generalisability, more
difficult. Introduction. DKA is a serious acute complications of Diabetes Mellitus. Standardised
measurements of DKA events were not frequently used, as many studies (seven of 19) relied on

This review, like any SLR, is subject to publication bias, as an SLR inherently relies upon data
available in the published literature. One of the main issues affecting the quality determination for
many of the included studies is the fact that the epidemiology of DKA events was not a primary (or,
in many cases, even a secondary) objective of the study; rather, DKA data were reported only as part
of overall rates of acute diabetic complications (along with other parameters such as severe
hypoglycaemic events). Medline (via PubMed) and Embase databases were searched for articles
published between 1 January 2000 and 23 June 2016 (date of search execution) by a single review
author (EW). DKA commonly presents with a short history of symptoms developing over a few
weeks. Author Contributions GF and RT share first authorship due to equal contribution. In addition,
many included studies did not provide sufficient information to make a clear determination of
quality for some aspects of study design; this lack of detail was particularly notable for ascertainment
of cases of T1D. Cell damage induced by prolonged ischemia-reperfusion injury may lead to

not fully report patient baseline demographic information such as patient ethnicity or insulin delivery
method. Rewers and colleagues 48 indicated that the increased risk of DKA among adolescent girls
(relative to younger children) may be related to body image issues that lead adolescent girls to skip
insulin injections to promote weight loss. Hirabayashi K, Takatsuki M, Motobayashi M, Kurata T,

Abdominal pain and ileus can result from potassium depletion, acidosis, and poor splanchnic

typically resolve during the first 24 hours of treatment, after administration of fluids and insulin. ( 2 )
In the initial phase of DKA abdominal pain may be severe enough to mimic an acute abdomen.
Gesuita R, Maffeis C, Bonfanti R, Cardella F, Citriniti F, D'Annunzio G, et al. Only five publications
described the epidemiology of DKA in adult patient populations in Europe; two reported on patients

Audit and Research in Tayside Scotland database, it was suggested that poor adherence to insulin
treatment in young adults with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is the major factor that contributes
