- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the massive underreporting of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in emergency department admissions in Danish hospitals. The researchers conducted a chart review from July 2011 to June 30, 2012 of all registered cases of T2DM including both primary and secondary diagnosis. The study found that the registration of patients with T2DM needs to be improved so that the quality of both the primary and secondary care can be ensured.
