Article Synopsis
- The study examines the outcomes for Medicaid beneficiaries with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) who switched to commercial insurance from 2010 to 2019.
- A total of 8856 patients were included, and the data analysis involved methods like propensity matching to compare outcomes between those with commercial insurance and those who remained on Medicaid.
- Results showed that transitioning to commercial insurance correlated with a 27% lower risk of major amputation, highlighting potential benefits of insurance type for patients with DFUs.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of preulcerative foot care and outcomes of diabetic foot ulcerations (DFUs).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study using the Mariner all-payers claims data set included participants with a new DFU from 2010 to 2019. Patients were stratified into two cohorts (foot care and control) based on whether they had received any outpatient foot care within 12 months before DFU.
