Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

New Diabetic Ketoacidosis Research Reported from Stavropol State Medical University (Intravenous Insulin Infusion Rate and Its Impact on the Time to Resolution of Diabetic Ketoacidosis)

Article Description
Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute and severe complication of type 1 diabetes that is highly prevalent in children and adolescents. Intravenous (IV) insulin infusion is the mainstay of DKA treatment in the intensive care unit; however, standard-dose (0.1 U/kg/h) insulin infusion increases the risk of cerebral edema. Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of low-dose (0.05 U/kg/h) vs high-dose (0.1 U/kg/h) IV insulin infusion in children and adolescents treated for DKA. Materials and methods: Our randomized single-blind study included 86 patients aged 5 to 14 years urgently hospitalized with symptoms of DKA. Group 1 comprised 40 children who received IV insulin at the low rate (0.05 U/kg/h), whereas group 2 included 46 children who received IV insulin at the standard rate (0.1 U/kg/h). During the treatment we compared the time to DKA resolution and blood glucose level decrease to 15 mmol/L and recorded cases of hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, and papilledema. The Mann-Whitney test was used to determine whether differences were statistically significant. Results: There was no difference between groups 1 and 2 in DKA treatment duration. The blood glucose level was found to decline to 15 mmol/L more slowly in children who received IV insulin at 0.05 U/kg/h. Hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, and papilledema were more common in the standard-dose (0.1 U/kg/h) group. Conclusions: The low-dose IV insulin infusion (0.05 U/kg/h) is safer in terms of complications (cerebral edema) associated with pediatric DKA treatment in the intensive care unit and not inferior to the standard recommended dose (0.1 U/kg/h) in efficacy.
