The Diabetic Ketoacidosis Mortality Prediction Model score, abbreviated as DKAMPM score, is a clinical calculator used in the management of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This scoring system is specifically designed for adult patients diagnosed with DKA, a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. The DKAMPM score is utilized to predict the mortality risk in patients with DKA. It uses various clinical and laboratory parameters such as age, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, serum bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen, and mental status to calculate the score. The higher the score, the higher the risk of mortality. This calculator is not applicable to pediatric patients or to patients without a confirmed diagnosis of DKA. It should also not be used in isolation but in conjunction with clinical judgment and other diagnostic tools.
