Abstract:
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most severe clinical features of diabetes
mellitus, which can result in morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of DKA is increasing
worldwide and nationwide. There is a discrepancy of time to recovery from DKA between
developed and developing country. The Ethiopian government aims to decrease premature
mortality from noncommunicable diseases, including diabetes, by one-fourth by 2025. To achieve
this target plan, more research should be conducted in this area.
