Abstract:
The incidence of diabetes is increasing. One of the most common complications is diabetes-related foot disease (DFD), which include ulcers and gangrene. If not managed appropriately, DFD can rapidly deteriorate resulting in limb loss and death.The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) and the Global Vascular Guidelines (GVG) provide recommendations on the assessment and management of DFD and chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI). It has been hypothesized that adherence to these guidelines varies and could be contributing to poor outcomes.This study aimed to capture practices of diabetic foot debridement and minor amputation in theatre, to compare practice with the IWGDF and GVG recommendations, and to report the outcomes of patients undergoing debridement or minor amputation for a DFD complication.
