Figure 2. Cumulative Incidence by Assigned Treatment Group (Balanced Crystalloids vs Saline) of Resolution of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and Discontinuation of Insulin Infusion Therapy.

Graphs show cumulative incidence of resolution of DKA (A) and discontinuation of insulin infusion therapy (B), with time 0 defined as emergency department (ED) presentation and initiation of insulin infusion, respectively. The cumulative incidence probabilities for DKA resolution were calculated using the Turnbull nonparametric method. Displayed P values were calculated with a log-rank test. Twenty-six patients (15 in the balanced crystalloids group and 11 in the saline group) were discharged from the hospital without meeting the laboratory definition of DKA resolution; these patients were considered to have DKA resolution at the time of hospital discharge.
