Introduction:
The most serious complications of diabetes mellitus are diabetic ketoacidosis and the hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state. Clinical and laboratory alterations are often observed that cover both spectrums and which we call a mixed state. They represent close to 50% of hospitalizations in the service. of emergencies in diabetic patients.
Objective:
To determine in-hospital complications and outcomes of hyperglycemic states in adult patients admitted to the Hospital Nacional, Itauguá, Paraguay, in the period 2015-2022.
Methodology:
A retrospective cohort design was applied. Male and female patients with diagnoses of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, who were over 18 years of age, were selected and grouped into three cohorts that corresponded to each of the acute decompensations of diabetes mellitus. The sample was made up of 180 patients distributed into three cohort groups with 60 patients each.
Results:
Fifty one percent were male. A greater development of cardiovascular events, hospital-acquired infections, intensive care requirements and mortality were found in the cohort with hyperosmolar state.
Conclusion:
the cohort with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state was characterized by the highest number of complications.
