  1. ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS FOR DIABETIC FOOT INFECTIONS LEADING TO HOSPITAL ADMISSION , SEEN IN A TERTIARY DIABETIC CENTRE.

  2. AIM:1)To analyze the risk factors associated with, and leading to hospital admission for diabetic foot infection. 2)To develop strategies to reduce the incidence of surgeries and amputations. METHODS:Consecutive patients admitted for foot-infection in D.R.C(n=72) during the period from May 06 to July 06 were included in the study.History in the form of questionnaires, including mode of injury, previous treatment taken before admission (if yes,from whom,after how many days of injury) were analyzed.Biochemical parameters at baseline and at discharge were tabulated.Wound morphology was compared according to Texas’ Classification.Outcome ,in comparison to various parameters were analyzed.

  3. PROFILE OF PATIENTS:

  4. MODE OF INJURY:

  5. HISTORY OF PRESENTING FOOT-INFECTION

  6. CHARACTERISTIC OF THE WOUNDS

  7. TEXAS’ CLASSIFICATION % of patients Texas’ Classification

  8. INTERVENTION

  9. RESULTS

  10. AGE Vs PREVALENCE OF FOOT INFECTION

  11. BLOOD GLUCOSE AT BASELINE & AFTER INTERVENTION Blood Glucose Time

  12. DURATION OF DIABETES Vs INTERVENTION

  13. HbA1c Vs INTERVENTION Percentage of Patients HbA1c Level

  14. DURATION OF INFECTION Vs INTERVENTION Percentage of Patients Duration of Infection

  15. PREVIOUS TREATMENT Vs INTERVENTION Percentage of Patients Level of Intervention

  16. CONCLUSION

  17. 1)Elderly, long duration of diabetes.high HbA1c levels & patient with diabeticneuropathy are at particular risk for foot injury and infection. • 2)Family physician seems to play an important role in the initial management, who needs to be made more aware of impending adverse outcome of foot injury in a diabetic patient. • 3)E-Coli is the most frequently isolated organism. • 4)Outcome of patient is influenced by • Duration of diabetes • Duration of foot-infection • HbA1c levels • Previous treatment sought 5)Proper intervention leads to reduction of blood sugars at all time of the day. 6)Aggressive education & awareness about foot care, appropriate foot-wear & importance of seeking of timely medical advise in case of foot injury can reduce the level of intervention in all group ofdiabetic patients.
