Clinical, Pathological and Microbiological Evaluation of Diabetic Foot Syndrome
MEDICINA-LITHUANIA(2020)
摘要
Background and objectives:Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the serious complications of diabetes, being related to frequent and long-term hospitalisation, reduced quality of life of the patient, amputations, a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The bacterial aetiology is complex, sometimes involving more than one pathogen, playing a major role in the infection prognosis and development of microbial resistance. This study evaluated the current state of the aetiology, clinical and pathological characteristics of DFU in a single diabetes centre in order to provide some specific measures to prevent it.Materials and Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on patients with diabetes mellitus (252 individuals diagnosed with DFU) between January 2018-December 2019. All participants were assessed based on their clinical characteristics, including complications of diabetes and pathological and microbiological evaluations.Results:The present research revealed that diabetic foot ulcer prevalence was higher in males than in females and higher in type 2 diabetic patients than in type 1 diabetic patients. The patients with diabetic foot ulcer were older, had a higher body mass index (BMI), longer diabetic duration and had more diabetic complications, such as retinopathy, diabetic polyneuropathy and diabetic kidney disease, than patients without diabetic foot ulceration.Conclusions:Taking into account all factors involved, including the aetiology and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of these isolates, planning the suitable treatment options of patients is possible.
