Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) Understanding

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Overview

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is an open sore or wound in patients with diabetes; they occur in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The average duration of diabetes before ulceration is >10 years. The wound is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. A DFU is caused by neuropathic (nerve) and vascular (blood vessel) complications of diabetes. Nerve damage due to diabetes causes altered or complete loss of feeling in the foot and/or leg, known as peripheral neuropathy.

DFU may result in an infection or other ulcer-related complications that can lead to hospitalization. Foot ulcers are a common complication of poorly controlled diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcers form when the lower layers are exposed after the skin tissues break down. When blood sugar levels are high or regularly fluctuate, skin that would usually heal may not properly repair itself because of nerve damage. These ulcers are most common under the big toes and the balls of feet and can affect the feet down to the bones.

DFUs are complex, chronic wounds, which have a major long-term impact on the morbidity, mortality, and quality of patients’ lives. Individuals who develop a DFU are at greater risk of premature death, myocardial infarction, and fatal stroke than those without a history of DFU. Unlike other chronic wounds, the development and progression of a DFU are often complicated by wide-ranging diabetic changes, such as neuropathy and vascular disease. In most DFU patients, peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (or both) play a central role. Therefore, DFU can be commonly classified into three types i.e. Neuropathic, Ischemic, and Neuro-ischemic.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) Diagnosis

The most significant risk factors for foot ulceration are diabetic neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and consequent traumas of the foot. Other risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, poorly fitted or poor quality shoes, poor hygiene, improper trimming of toenails, poor glycemic control, and previous foot ulcerations. Diagnosis of DFU includes the doctor investigating the patient’s medical history for signs of any previous complication or medical condition. Other than this diagnosis of DFU requires a physical examination for checking the current condition, a few blood tests for screening any infection, and a metabolic profile to measure glucose levels. Radiological imaging tests, such as CT scan, MRI, Arteriography, etc. may also be used to gather detailed information about the DFU.

Epidemiology Perspective by DelveInsight

The DFU epidemiology division provides insights about historical and current DFU patient pool and forecasted trends for every seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.

Key Findings
