Abstract

We prospectively evaluated the correlation between point-of-care β-OHB values and DKA severity at time of initial diagnosis in 54 patients. The correlation coefficients between β-OHB and pH, bicarbonate and anion gap were 0.33, 0.25 and 0.16, respectively. We conclude that point-of-care β-OHB absolute values cannot reliably assess DKA severity.
