Bottom line recommendations for the treatment and management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

This document outlines the references used and team involved in the development of the diabetic ketoacidosis PedsPac. 

Evidence repositories are collections of best available resources and evidence (clinical guidelines, peer reviewed literature, systematic reviews, etc.), collated by our knowledge synthesis team and content advisors. This evidence repository is not intended to be an exhaustive list of resources for a topic, but rather a curated list of current, evidence-based resources, based on expert consensus of relevance and usability for a general emergency department setting. We search databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, TRIP Database) and web search engines (Google, Google Scholar) to locate evidence. Additionally, hospital websites are browsed for guidance documents, such as clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for healthcare professionals. 

Every effort is made to identify resources that are open access (i.e. publicly available, free of charge, not requiring a subscription). 

More information about the creation of our evidence repositories can be found at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28537762/
