Reduction in Foot Ulcer Incidence: Relation to compliance with a prophylactic foot care program (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
Diabetic foot lesions are prevalent and often lead to severe complications, including amputations and significant healthcare costs. This study investigates the effectiveness of a prophylactic foot care program (FP) in reducing the incidence of foot ulcers among diabetic patients diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Through a prospective clinic-based study, diabetic patients with neuropathy were enrolled in a structured FP, which included educational sessions on foot care. Results indicate that adherence to the FP is associated with a decrease in foot ulcer incidents, suggesting that such preventive strategies are vital for improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare expenditure.
