Overview

Retrospective cohort shows peripheral artery disease linked to higher amputation risk in diabetic foot ulcers, highlighting care gaps.

Key Points

  • To assess the prevalence and impact of peripheral artery disease in diabetic foot ulcer admissions.
  • Retrospective multicenter cohort study
  • Analyzed data from three tertiary vascular centers
  • Included adults with diabetes and diabetic foot ulcers
  • 18.8% of diabetic foot ulcer patients had peripheral artery disease
  • Major amputation rates were 48.8% in PAD patients vs 14.5% in non-PAD
  • 12-month amputation-free survival was significantly lower in PAD patients (51.3% vs 85.5%)
