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%); ptrendenAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/diabetes carediabetes complicationsdiabetes mellituspotentially preventable hospitalizationsresearch article30978979open access10.3390/jcm8040492PMC6526470https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/8/4/492/pdf?version=1556188110https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6526470/pdf
