Patients were excluded if they were pregnant or diagnosed with Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS), euglycemic DKA, or ketosis from other causes. <b>Results:</b> The incidence of hypoglycemia was 38% in the pre-group and 15.83% in the post-group (<i>P</i> < .001). Patients in the pre-group were on an insulin infusion longer than the post-group (28.37 hours vs 22.17 hours, <i>P</i> < .001). Patients in the pre-group had a slower time to anion gap closure (8.99 hours vs 8.52 hours, <i>P</i> = .021) and had a slower time to HCO3 correction (10.88 hours vs 10.69 hours, <i>P</i> = .004). Between-group incidence of hypokalemia was similar (66.39% vs 60%, <i>P</i> = .079). <b>Conclusions:</b> The two-bag method for the treatment of DKA resulted in improved safety and efficacy outcomes, compared with the one-bag method.</p>","PeriodicalId":16818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacy practice","volume":" ","pages":"21-27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141310858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
