Aspiration pneumonia in diabetic ketoacidosis: a decade-long analysis of occurrence , associated risk factors and clinical outcomes in 530,700 US hospitalizations.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAspiration pneumonia (AP) is a serious clinical condition among patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This study aimed to determine the occurrence and associated risk factors for AP among patients hospitalized with DKA.
methodsThe National Inpatient Sample (2010-2019) was used to identify adults with DKA. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of AP. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors associated with AP, adjusting for demographics, Elixhauser comorbidities, and hospital characteristics.
resultsAmong 530,700 hospitalizations for DKA, 2.0% developed AP. Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥ 45 years, ≥ 2 comorbidities, large hospital of bed size and urban hospital were associated with higher odds of AP. Specific comorbidities (alcohol abuse, congestive heart failure, coagulopathy, drug abuse, fluid and electrolyte disorders, neurological disorders, paralysis, psychoses, weight loss, and dementia) and complications (gastrointestinal hemorrhage, deep vein thrombosis, sepsis, stroke, blood transfusion) were associated with increased risk of AP. Patients with AP were significantly associated with higher hospital mortality (16.9% vs. 1.8%), longer median hospital stays (9 vs. 3 days), increased median healthcare costs ($97,318 vs. $22,835), and higher need for mechanical ventilation (2.2% vs. 0.1%) (P < 0.001).
conclusionThe findings highlight a relatively high occurrence of AP in patients with DKA, strongly associated with various comorbidities. The results emphasize the need for optimized management of high-risk patients to reduce adverse outcomes. Further prospective studies are required to clarify these associations and develop effective prevention strategies.
