A Case Series Of Diabetic Foot To Assess The Various Risk Factors Associated With Neglected State And Amputation In Tertiary Care Centre
Abstract
Prospective observational study conducted in the department of general surgery stanley medical college, for a period of 6 months. data collected from 200 cases of diabetic foot patients who underwent wound debridement and or amputations were done. the questionnares on socioeconomic status, the awareness abour diabetes and its complications was taken. pathophyiological status of the patient in terms of diabetic status, vascular insufficiency and neuological deficits were assessed and scoring done. results -
The higher incidence of diabetic foot in men. The females counterparts were generally older than the males. Most patients were from urban population and belonged to the upper lower class as per kuppusamy scoring. And their knowledge about diabetes and its complications were fair, yet most of the patients (70%) presented to the hospital only later than 5 days after onset of the disease which was mostly following trivial injury that was not attended to. The diabetic status of the patient at the time of admission was found to be more than 300mg/dl in 78% of the patients.
