Table 1_In-hospital outcomes of adults with diabetes treated in certified vs. non-certifie

8.1 million inpatient cases with diabetes were analyzed from German national DRG statistics covering 2021-2023. The dataset compares mortality rates and length of stay between 300 diabetes-certified hospitals and 1,103 non-certified hospitals. It was authored by Marie Auzanneau and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare in-hospital mortality rates for diabetes patients based on hospital certification status.
• Analyze differences in length of hospital stay between certified and non-certified facilities.
• Investigate outcome disparities for specific complications like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hypoglycemia.
• Study the association between diabetes as a primary versus secondary diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Strengths

• Analysis of 43.4 million total inpatient cases provides a large-scale national perspective.
• Data covers a defined 3-year period (2021-2023) for temporal consistency.
• Results are stratified by diabetes type and specific complications (DKA, hypoglycemia).
• Uses hierarchical multiple regression models for statistical comparison.

Limitations

• The underlying data file is a 39.4 KB DOCX document, suggesting limited raw data scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying statistical dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
