Study details
On the other hand, the professionals explained that the relevance of the research consists “in the fact that the PD represents a complication that can threaten the conservation of the foot and the life of the person, and that in the country we do not have local data for its approach” .
In this sense, the objective was to describe the characteristics of all the adults with diabetes who consulted for PD for 3 months and to evaluate their evolution at 6 months. After this time it was found that the percentage of major amputation was 8.33%, the percentage of healing 58% and the mortality 4.49%.
“Knowledge of local data will make it possible to improve decision-making in terms of health policies related to the prevention and treatment of people with PD,” the professionals said.
