Patients aged 13\u2009years or older with DKA were enrolled. The primary outcome was the time taken to DKA resolution, with a predefined superiority margin of a one-fourth reduction in resolution time. Secondary outcomes included total intravenous fluid and short-acting regular insulin requirements, the need for 0.45% saline, hospital stay duration and in-hospital mortality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 150 patients (mean age 36.8\u2009years, 56.7% males) were included, with 75 receiving SF (intervention group) and 75 receiving NS (historical control group). The SF group showed a significantly shorter mean time to DKA resolution (13.8\u2009\u00b1\u20096.0\u2009h) compared to the NS group (18.1\u2009\u00b1\u20095.5\u2009h; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). SF patients required less total intravenous fluid (4500 vs. 6000\u2009ml; P\u2009=\u20090.004), less insulin (98 units vs. 112 units; P\u2009=\u20090.017) and had a lower need for 0.45% saline (8% vs. 74.3%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Patients receiving SF had shorter hospital stays (4 [interquartile range, IQR 3\u20135] days vs. 4 [IQR 4\u20136] days; P\u2009=\u20090.020).
