Current Challenges and Opportunities in the Prevention and Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

March 21st 2018

There is strong suggestive evidence to indicate that appropriate changes in the relevant care pathways can result in a prompt improvement in clinical outcomes (Diabetes Care)

Physical activity and exercise on diabetic foot related outcomes: a systematic review

March 3rd 2018

This review suggests evidence that physical activity and exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve diabetic foot related outcomes. Combined multi-disciplinary treatments are more effective in the prevention of foot complications in patients with diabetes (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Association between biofilm and multi/extensive drug resistance in diabetic foot infection

January 31st 2018

Multi/extensive drug resistance and previous recurrent DFIs were significantly associated with biofilm formation in patients with diabetic foot (International Journal of Clinical Practice)

Topical antimicrobial agents for treating foot ulcers in people with diabetes

December 6th 2017

Low-certainty evidence suggests that treatment with antimicrobial dressings may increase the likelihood of healing of these wounds. The limited and weak available evidence does not allow us to draw firm conclusions on the role of any topical antimicrobial in the treatment or prevention of wound infection in people with foot ulcers and diabetes (Cochrane Library)

Prognosis of the infected diabetic foot ulcer: a 12-month prospective observational study

November 20th 2017

Clinical outcomes at 12 months for people with an infected diabetic foot ulcer are generally poor. Our data confirm the adverse prognostic effect of limb ischaemia, longer ulcer duration and the presence of multiple ulcers (Diabetic Medicine)

The impact of glycaemic variability on wound healing in the diabetic foot – a retrospective study of new ulcers presenting to a specialist multidisciplinary foot clinic

October 31st 2017

Our data suggest that there was a significant association between HbA1c variability and healing time in diabetic foot ulcers (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Diabetes-related major lower limb amputation incidence is strongly related to diabetic foot service provision and improves with enhancement of services: peer review of the South-West of England

October 11th 2017

Major diabetes-related lower limb amputation incidence is significantly inversely correlated with foot care services provision. Introduction of more effective service provision resulted in significant reductions in major amputation incidence within 2 years. Failure to improve unsatisfactory service provision resulted in continued high amputation incidence (Diabetic Medicine)

Unplanned 30-day readmission in patients with diabetic foot wounds treated in a multidisciplinary setting

October 11th 2017

We found a 17% unplanned 30-day readmission rate in this prospective cohort of DFU patients enrolled in a multidisciplinary diabetic foot service. Only current smoking and hypertension were independent predictors of readmission after risk adjustment (Journal of Vascular Surgery)

The Society for Vascular Surgery Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) Classification Independently Predicts Wound Healing in Neuroischemic Diabetic Foot Ulcers

September 7th 2017

Among patients with DFU, the WIfI classification system predicts wound healing at 1 year in both crude and risk-adjusted analyses. This is the first study to validate the WIfI score as an independent predictor of wound healing using multivariable analysis (Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Feasibility and Efficacy of a Smart Mat Technology to Predict Development of Diabetic Plantar Ulcers

May 10th 2017

Given the encouraging study results and the significant burden of DFU, use of this mat may result in significant reductions in morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization (Diabetes Care)

A randomized, open-label, controlled trial to evaluate the antimicrobial and surgical effect of CO2 laser treatment in diabetic infected foot ulcers: DULCIS (diabetic ulcer, CO2 laser, and infections) study

April 4th 2017

Debridement of ulcers with CO2 laser significantly reduces bacterial load and fibrin-covered areas, and could be of help in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer (Journal of Endocrinological Investigation)

Minor amputation does not negatively affect health-related quality of life as compared to conservative treatment in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer

October 31st 2016

Minor amputation was not associated with a negative impact on HRQoL in patients with a DFU. It may therefore not be considered treatment failure in terms of HRQoL, but rather a viable treatment option. A randomised controlled trial is warranted to further examine the influence of minor amputations on HRQoL  (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)

Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Diabetic Foot Ulcer Fibroblasts Using a Nonintegrative Sendai Virus

August 11th 2016

These results have established for the first time that multiple, DFU-derived fibroblast cell lines can be reprogrammed with efficiencies similar to control fibroblasts, thus demonstrating their utility for future regenerative therapy of DFUs  (Cellular Reprogramming)

Cognitive Dysfunction: Part and Parcel of the Diabetic Foot

May 16th 2016

Individuals with diabetic foot ulcers were found to possess fewer cognitive resources than individuals with diabetes without this complication. Thus, they appear to face more self-treatment challenges, while possessing significantly fewer cognitive resources (Diabetes Care)
