  • Clinical features and risk factors of diabetic foot

    Objective To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of diabetic foot. Methods A total of 100 patients with diabetic foot and 158 diabetic patients without diabetic foot were selected from April 2012 to May 2015 in Meishan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Clinical data of the patients in the two groups was comparatively analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors. Results The age, duration of diabetes, incidences of complications, count of white blood cells, level of fibrinogen, level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetic foot group were significantly higher than those in non-diabetic foot group (P<0.05), while the ankle-brachial index, level of hemoglobin and level of albumin in diabetic foot group were significantly lower than those in non-diabetic foot group (P<0.05). The independent risk factors of diabetic foot were Wanger grade, age, ankle-brachial index, hs-CRP, albumin and HbA1c (P<0.05). HbA1c and hs-CRP level were independent risk factors of disease severity in patients with diabetic foot; the difference of prognosis in patients with different Wanger grading was statistically significant (Z=–4.394, P<0.001). Conclusions The risk of diabetic foot in diabetic patients increases with older age, the more serious Wanger grade, the higher hs-CRP and HbA1c level, and the lower ankle-brachial index and albumin level. Taking precautions based on the patient’s situation is conducive to early prevention of amputation in diabetic patients with diabetic foot.
