A Cross Sectional Study to Assess the Outcomes of Diabetic Foot Ulcer in Government Chengalpattu Medical College and Hospital

Abstract

The diabetic foot syndrome is a set of disorders in which tissue breakdown caused by ischaemia, neuropathy, and infection can result in morbidity and even amputation. Diabetes is no longer just a condition of the developed world. It is a cross-sectional study that was carried out for a year at Chengalpattu Medical College to analyse the various conservative and surgical treatment options for various grades of diabetic foot ulcers and to evaluate the outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers based on the severity of diabetes mellitus. One hundred and twenty six diabetic patients with foot lesions were found overall in Govt. Chengalpattu Medical College & Hospital from January 2021 to February 2022, and they were all included in the study. Male patients made up 58% of the total (73), while female patients made up 42%. (53). The patients in this group ranged in age from 20 to 87. In the vast majority of cases, 55% of the patients were between the ages of 50 and 69. In our investigation, the average peak incidence of diabetic foot lesions was sixty years old. Close communication between surgeons, physicians, diabetologists, dieticians, podiatrists, vascular surgeons, and community health care providers is required for the multidisciplinary management of diabetic foot ulcers.
