Efstathiou SP et al. A mortality prediction model in diabetic ketoacidosis. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). DOI: 10.1046/j.1365-2265.2002.01636.x. PMID: 12390332. Points are 6 for severe coexisting disease at presentation, 4 for pH below 7.0 at presentation, 4 for more than 50 units of regular insulin in the first 12 hours, 4 for serum glucose above 16.7 mmol/L after 12 hours, 4 for a depressed mental state after 24 hours, and 3 for fever after 24 hours. Patients with 0–14 points had a 0.86% risk of death, and patients with 19–25 points had a 93.3% risk. (2002)
