Table 4.
Characteristics of the DKA subset, according to DKA severity.
| Mild DKA | Moderate DKA | Severe DKA | p Value a | Percentage of Missing Values | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | 85 | 61 | 74 | ||
| Gender = M (%) | 46 (54.1) | 34 (55.7) | 38 (51.4) | 0.873 | 0 |
| Age (median [IQR]) | 6.00 [3.00, 10.00] | 5.00 [2.00, 9.00] | 8.00 [5.00, 10.00] | 0.063 | 0 |
| Background = R (%) | 23 (27.1) | 16 (26.2) | 19 (25.7) | 0.98 | 0 |
| HbA1c (mean (SD)) | 12.10 (2.16) | 11.44 (2.17) | 12.22 (2.20) | 0.086 | 0.9 |
| period = pandemic (%) | 32 (37.6) | 24 (39.3) | 41 (55.4) | 0.054 | 0 |
ap values correspond to χ2 statistics for categorical variables, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests for non-normally distributed continuous variables (age, pH) and ANOVA for normally distributed continuous variables (HbA1c), comparing the three subgroups. The p value assesses compatibility with the null hypothesis of no differences between subgroups.
