We performed a population-based study of all adult patients with diabetes who were hospitalized from 1997 to 2015. Overall potentially preventable hospitalizations and hospitalizations by diabetes-related preventable conditions (short-term complications, long-term complications, uncontrolled diabetes, and lower-extremity amputations) were examined. Annual rates adjusted for age and sex were analyzed and trends were calculated. Over 19-years-period, 424,874 diabetes-related potentially preventable hospitalizations were recorded. Overall diabetes-related potentially preventable hospitalizations decreased significantly, with an average annual percentage change of 5.1 (95%CI: -5.6-(-4.7%); ptrend SN 2077-0383 YR 2019 FD 2019-04-11 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/13820 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/13820 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 10, 2025
