Aims: The hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) is a life-threatening diabetic complication.

We retrieved anthropometric measures, history of diabetes, other cardiovascular risk factors and chronic co-morbidity. Clinical and biochemical parameters were recorded at admission, after 24 h and at discharge. We assessed incidence of complications, as well as short (
