smoking were recorded as well as the causes of admissions and mortality.
••
Results: A total of 5917 patients were admitted, 17% of them were diabetics. Admissions for blood glucose control and for macrovascular complications were found
in 21 % and 38%. Mortality rate was 13%. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity, infection, poor glycemic control, long duration of diabetes mellitus and long hospital stay were risk factors associated with high mortality.
Conclusion: Macrovascular complications and uncontrolled blood glucose were the most common causes of admissions.
