Overview
The complications of diabetic foot ulcers include infection, sepsis, osteomyelitis and death.
Natural History
- Diabetic foot as a known complication of diabetes is more related to diabetes mellitus type 2, compared to type 1 diabetes.[1][2]
- Diabetic patients who are at risk of foot ulceration, develop diabetic foot which may get infected later. The final state of diabetic foot is a necrotic foot.[3]
- Based on a study, factors such as elevated body mass index and osteomyelitis prolong the wound healing process.[4]
- If left untreated diabetic ulcer may progress to infection, sepsis, or osteomyelitis. According to an estimate 20% of significant diabetic foot ulcers end up requiring an amputation. Untreated diabetic foot ulcer cab lead to death of the affected individual.[5]
Complications
- Diabetic foot ulcer can cause numerous complications including:[5][6][7][8][4][9][10][11]
- Infection:
- Diabetic foot infection is the most common cause of hospitalization in diabetic patients.
- Sepsis
- Osteomyelitis:
- The following features of a diabetic foot ulcer increase the chance of osteomyelitis development:
- Gangrene
- Lower limb amputation
- It is estimated that roughly half of non traumatic lower limb amputation is due to diabetic foot in North America and Europe.
- The following factors increase the risk of amputation in diabetic foot patients:
- Old age
- Peripheral vascular disease (PAD)
- Transcutaneous oxygen reduction
- Poor glycemic control
- Osteomyelitis
- Smoking
- Dialysis
- Death
- Patients with diabetic foot have an increased risk of all-cause mortality, especially cardiovascular disorders, compared with diabetic patients without a history of diabetic foot ulcer.
- The following risk factors have been associated with higher rate of mortality:
- Infection:
- Complications of diabetic foot have been more common in male patients and patients older than 60 years old.[8]
Prognosis
- If left untreated prognosis could be very bad and it eventually can lead to death.[5]
- The 5 year risk of mortality in diabetic patients with a foot ulcer is 2.5 times higher than diabetic individuals without a foot ulcer.[5]
- The presence of a single ulcer is associated with a particularly good prognosis among patients with diabetic foot, compared to multiple ulcers.[12]
- Modification of specific risk factors (such as improving glycemic control, treatment of neuropathy and immediate treatment of ulcers) improves the prognosis in a significant manner.[13]
- Three year mortality has been estimated 35-50% after amputation of the diabetic foot.[14]
