SUN-620 Gender Difference in the Outcome of Patients with Diabetes Admitted for Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemia. from the National Inpatient Sample

Objective: There is paucity of literature on the impact of gender on outcomes of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) among adult patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gender on the outcome of these patients. Methodology: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for all patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) during the years 2005-2014. The primary outcomes of the study were all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and acute stroke. The secondary outcomes were acute kidney injury (AKI), rhabdomyolysis, acute respiratory failure (ARF), need for mechanical ventilation (MV), length of stay (LOS), and total cost of stay. Results: Overall, 188,725 patients were admitted for HHS. Mean age of males was 53.7, standard error of the mean (SEM: 0.13), and of females was 58.5 (SEM: 0.15), p
