[Characteristics of Inflammatory Markers in Diabetic Foot Patients and Their Relationship With Prognosis of Diabetic Foot Ulcers].
Sichuan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban
November 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the baseline inflammatory markers in diabetic foot patients and how these markers relate to the severity and prognosis of diabetic foot ulcers.
- Data from 495 diabetic foot patients were analyzed, revealing that higher levels of white blood cells, CRP, PCT, and IL-6 are linked to more severe ulcer stages as classified by the Wagner Scale.
- Results indicated that patients with increased inflammatory markers are more likely to experience progression in ulcer severity, and those treated with antibiotics showed lower levels of ESR, CRP, and IL-6 compared to those who were not treated prior to admission.
Clinical characteristics and risk factors of lower extremity amputation in the diabetic inpatients with foot ulcers.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
April 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on diabetic inpatients with foot ulcers at West China Hospital, identifying clinical characteristics and risk factors for lower extremity amputation (LEA).
- A total of 992 diabetic patients were analyzed, revealing that 7.3% underwent amputations, with the majority suffering from peripheral arterial disease and other complications.
- Key findings indicated that older patients with longer diabetes histories and certain complications, such as foot gangrene and prior amputations, had a higher risk of experiencing LEA.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for the recurrence of foot ulcers by analyzing clinical characteristics of the patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in West China Hospital, Sichuan University.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out with the clinical data of 817 DFU patients hospitalized at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2020. The patients were divided into an initial ulceration group (502 cases) and a recurrent ulceration group (315 cases) according to their history of foot ulcers.
Microbial Infection and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Diabetic Foot Ulcer in China: Literature Review.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
June 2022
Objective: To investigate the microbial spectrum isolated from foot ulcers among diabetic patients in China, which was conducted to help clinicians choose optimal antibiotics empirically.
Method: The PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, and VIP databases were searched for studies published between 2015 to 2019, that report primary data on diabetic foot infection (DFI) and antibiotic susceptibility in China.
Result: A total of 63 articles about DFI and antibiotic susceptibility tests among diabetic patients in China were included.
