Article Abstract
Aims: To study the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and hospital efficiency in Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients admitted for ketoacidosis or diabetic coma in mainland France, overall and in adults versus children.
Methods: An observational study was carried out using exhaustive national hospital discharge databases. It included all admissions discharged from 2013 to 2019. SES was assessed using an ecological measure divided into national quintiles, and efficiency by variations in patients' length of stay (LOS) compared to mean national LOS and a comparison of production costs and revenues. Multilevel multivariable analyses were carried out to study the association.
Results: 67,100 admissions were included. Multivariable analyses found a significant association between efficiency outcomes, SES and age. Compared to other age groups, children under 5 had higher LOS than the national mean and incurred higher costs than what hospitals were paid regardless of SES. In adults, there was a significant interaction between SES and age group, leading to significantly increased LOS and costs in adults from intermediate and/or lower SES groups.
Conclusions: Current payment methods using diagnosis-related groups may not adequately reflect the burden of Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients admitted for ketoacidosis or diabetic coma on hospitals.

Acetone Gas Sensors for Noninvasive Diabetes Diagnosis: A Comprehensive Review.
Chem Rec

School of Physics and Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, 430070, Hubei, P. R. China.
The development of sensors for monitoring breath acetone, a key biomarker for ketosis in diabetes mellitus, represents a critical frontier in medical diagnostics, promising a painless alternative to invasive blood tests. This review provides a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the state-of-the-art in acetone gas sensing technologies, including chemiresistive, optical, electrochemical, conductometric, and microwave platforms. We focus specifically on recent breakthroughs driven by advanced materials, analyzing how novel nanostructures from two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXenes to porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are engineered to push performance to clinically relevant parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity.

Study Objective: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the two-bag versus one-bag method in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) management in adult and pediatric populations.
Methods: The study was registered with the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, in adherence to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A search was conducted across MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases up to March 2025, with no restrictions on study design.
Effects of Dapagliflozin on Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Observational Study From Bangladesh.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder frequently associated with obesity, leading to increased risks of cardiovascular and renal complications. Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent for improving glycemic control and promoting weight reduction. However, evaluating its safety and efficacy in obese T2DM patients remains essential, particularly in real-world clinical settings.

Objectives: The 2-bag intravenous (IV) fluid system for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has been associated with shorter duration of insulin and faster resolution of acidosis. Our aims were to increase the use of 2-bag IV fluids among children with medium- or high-risk DKA treated at 2 tertiary care pediatric hospitals and to increase the proportion of children who receive timely administration of fluid and insulin treatments.
Methods: We conducted a quality improvement initiative using data from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2021, among patients 21 years or younger with medium- or high-risk DKA.
