Background: Diabetic foot disease is a foot that exhibits any pathology that results directly from diabetic mellitus or any long-term chronic complication of diabetes mellitus. The aim of the study was to determine the risk factors and indications for amputations among diabetics.Methods: this clinical prospective study includes 120 diabetic foot patients admitted to AL- Karama teaching hospital from 1st January 2015 to 1st January 2019. All patients assessed for age, gender, duration of diabetes, hyperglycemia at admission and control of diabetes, history of smoking, hypertension, assess dominant foot and examination of diabetic foot lesion and classify it according to Meggit-Wagner grading status, indications for amputation and outcome.Results: The male to female ratio was 2:1. Most frequent age group of patients treated by amputation was between 50-80 years. Among patients treated with amputation (68.33%) of patients had diabetes mellitus for 11-20 years. From patients admitted with diabetic foot (53.33%) were smokers. Regarding hypertension (93.33%) of all patients were hypertensive. It was noted that (65%) of patients lesion occur in dominant foot Regarding Wagner's grading system (36.66%) of patients were grade 4 followed by grade 1 (21.66%). regarding mode of treatment (53.33%) of patients treated by amputation and other treated conservatively. Only 3 patients from 60 died while other discharged well after complete treatment.Conclusions: Increasing in age, long duration of diabetes mellitus, poor control of diabetes, smoking and occurrence of lesion in dominant foot all considered as a significant risk factors for increase liability amputation.

Introducción: La Diabetes Mellitus es un problema de salud pública. El Pie diabético es una degeneración de la estructura vascular de los pies, cuyos pacientes presentan problemas neurológicos, necesarios de identificar en el menor tiempo posible. Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es analizar la influencia de los factores de riesgo en la aparición del pie de riesgo, como datos complementarios al estudio mediante termografía infrarroja. Método: Se plantea un estudio descriptivo, transversal y observacional sobre una muestra de 479 sujetos encuadrados en dos grupos, grupo casos (personas con diabetes) y grupo control (personas sin diabetes). El grupo casos compuesto de un total de 277 personas, con una edad media de 63.41 años, [138 hombres (49.8%) y 139 mujeres (50.2%)]. De igual modo para el grupo control, el número consistió en 202 usuarios, con una edad media de 61.92 años, [ 99 hombres (49%) y 103 mujeres (51%)]. La toma de imágenes se ha llevado a cabo con la cámara FLIR E60bx® (FLIR® Company, Boston, USA). El análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos se ha realizado utilizando el paquete estadístico IBM SPSS Statistics 22.Conclusión: Se puede concluir afirmando que el estudio de los diferentes factores de riesgo es clave en el diagnóstico del pie de riesgo. Se puede establecer con rotundidad que la edad es un condicionante evidente, ya que las edades avanzadas se corresponden con un IMC y perímetro abdominal mayor. Unido al análisis mediante termografía infrarroja en la evaluación del pie de riesgo es útil para el diagnóstico y prevención de zonas comprometidas del pie, evitando así el desencadenante evidente en los daños propios de un pie diabético. Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem. The diabetic foot is a degeneration of the vascular structure of the feet, whose patients present neurological problems that need to be identified in the shortest possible time.Objective: The study's objective was to analyse the influence of risk factors in the appearance of the foot at risk as complementary data to the infrared thermography study.Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional, and observational study was proposed for a sample of 479 subjects corresponding to two groups – cases (subjects with diabetes) and control (subjects without diabetes). The cases group comprised 277 subjects, mean age 63.41 years, 138 men (49.8%) and 139 women (50.2%). The control group comprised 202 subjects, mean age 61.92 years, 99 men (49%) and 103 women (51%). Images were taken with an FLIR E60bx® camera (FLIR® Company, Boston, USA). The statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 statistical package.Conclusion: It can be concluded that the study of the different risk factors is key to the diagnosis of the foot at risk. It was solidly established that age evidently conditions the risk, since advanced ages corresponded to greater BMI and waist circumference. This type of study, together with the analysis by infrared thermography, is useful for the diagnosis and prevention of compromised areas of the foot, thus avoiding the obvious triggering of the damage typical of a diabetic foot.

Background: Diabetes is on the rise worldwide and is already considered as an epidemic by some experts. So, there is a need to raise awareness on the important factors that can help prevent bacterial infection in wounds of patients with diabetes. Objective: To study the risk factors of developing diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in patients with diabetes. The study is the first in Yemen to investigate the prevalence of bacterial infection in wounds of diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: This is a case-control study carried out from November 2018 to May 2019. Twenty diabetic patients with foot ulcer and twenty without foot ulcer were examined. Risk factors and clinical profile of patients were studied by using a standardized questionnaire that included gender, age groups, past history of diabetes, duration of the disease, type of diabetes, DFU, type of ulcer, smoking, glucose level, and control of blood glucose level. Results: The risk factors that affected significantly the occurrence of DFU were gender (0.038), age groups (0.010), and duration of diabetes mellitus (DM) while hyperglycemic control, smoking, and family history were not. There was no significant difference (0.977) in mean fasting blood glucose (MBG) between the DM and DFU patients. Conclusions: Male diabetic patients aged more than 55 years and suffering from DM for more than 10 years were most likely to have DFU. Key words: diabetic foot ulcer, diabetes mellitus, risk factors, Yemen

Goal of work - identify modifiable risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and in the formation of diabetic foot syndrome. Material and methods. A comparative medical and social study was conducted - a survey of patients in clinics of the city of Perm, suffering and not suffering from diabetes. The study involved 230 people who were assigned according to the presence/absence of diabetes mellitus. The first group included 178 patients with an average age of 45.8 (30.0; 59.0). The second group included 27 patients with diabetes mellitus, with an average age of 61.7 years (50.0; 62.0). The third group included 25 patients with diabetic foot syndrome, whose average age was 64.72 years (61.0; 69.0). Women predominated in all groups. Original and generally accepted questionnaires were used to study the presence of common risk factors for chronic diseases among respondents. Results. The analysis of the studied materials showed a clear qualitative and quantitative pattern of accumulation of risk factors in the age exponent. Most risk factors tend to grow up to 54-65 years. Risk factors such as smoking, alcohol abuse, poor nutrition and overweight, depression and hypertension predominate (р<0,05) in older age groups of respondents. In patients with diabetes mellitus, low physical activity, poor nutrition, and obesity predominate (р<0,05). In patients with diabetic foot syndrome, the same risk factors were identified as in patients without this pathology. At the same time, in respondents with diabetic foot syndrome, physical activity was minimal, and body mass index values were much higher (р<0,05); in addition, patients with diabetic foot syndrome are more likely (р<0,05) to be depressed and perceive their health as «very poor.»

Diabetic foot disease is a major medical, social, and economic problem. This retrospective study assessed the profile of diabetes mellitus patients with foot ulcers in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Nigeria. Admission records of all patients admitted unto the medical wards of UCTH over a 5 year period were analysed. The records of diabetic patients were retrieved. Data on patient characteristics and possible risk factors for diabetes mellitus foot ulcers was extracted. Of the 3,882 patients admitted, 297 (7%) were on account of complications of diabetes mellitus. Foot ulcers accounted for 63 (21.2%) of all diabetic admissions. The elderly constituted the majority of patients admitted with foot ulcers. The average duration of stay of diabetics with foot ulcers was 38.5 days. Diabetics admitted for other conditions had average duration of admission of 15.8 days. Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest organism isolated from swabs of foot ulcers. Most of the organisms identified from ulcer swab cultures were sensitive to quinolones and resistant to penicillins. These diabetic foot ulcers were significantly associated with peripheral sensory neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, intermittent claudication, and walking barefoot. An effective diabetes foot programme is required to address these risk factors and reverse the current trend.

Background: There is a lack of data regarding prevalence estimates of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in Singapore. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of DPN and risk factors in patients who present to a diabetic foot screening clinic and are considered low to medium risk in developing foot complications due to their type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A one-year retrospective analysis was conducted at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. Patients who underwent diabetic foot screening and endocrinologist review in the Diabetes and Endocrinology Specialist Outpatient Clinic during the period January 2019–December 2019 were included in this study. DPN was defined by the patient’s inability to detect ⩾1 out of 10 sites using the 10 g monofilament. Significantly associated risk factors with DPN were analysed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Data from 479 patients were analysed. Prevalence of DPN was 28% (95% confidence interval (CI) 24.0–32.2). DPN was significantly associated with age >65 years (odds ratio (OR)=5.44, 95% CI 2.87–10.32), Indian ethnicity (OR=1.99, 95% CI 1.04–3.80), insulin use (OR=1.65, 95% CI 1.03– 2.64), diabetic retinopathy (OR=2.36, 95% CI 1.47–3.78) and stroke (OR=2.44, 95% CI 1.03–5.77). Conclusion: Prevalence of DPN in this study’s population sample was 28%, and the significant risk factors are age, Indian ethnicity, insulin use, diabetic retinopathy and stroke.

AbstractDiabetes mellitus with its limb and life-threatening complications such as diabetic foot infection and amputation are increasing at epidemic rates all over the world. The objective of this study was to determine the rate of lower extremity amputation, the risk factors and the bacteriologic profile for diabetic foot lesions. The records of all 84 patients with diabetic foot infections of a large general hospital over a 4-year period were retrospectively included. The most commonly isolated pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (39%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14%), Proteus mirabilis (14%), Escherichia coli (14%), Group B streptococci (12%), and Klebsiella pneumonia (8%). The variables, independently associated with higher foot infections, were inadequate diabetic regulation (93%), peripheral neuropathy (88.1%), peripheral vascular disease (73.8%), smoking (56%), past history of ulcer (28.5%), penetrating injury (20.3%), inadequate foot wear (15%) and Charcot osteoartropathy (10.7%). The general amputation rate was 38.1%. Diabetic foot ulcers and its complication rates including infection, gangrene and lower extremity amputation in Turkey are still high. Preventive care of the foot in patients with diabetes mellitus is extremly important. Therefore early diagnosing of risk factors for diabetic foot infections in the primary care setting and their adequate therapy under multidisciplinary approach should not be neglected.
