[Screening and management of peripheral arterial obstructive disease in the lower limb wounds amongst diabetic elderly patients].

Introduction: Diabetes, a high prevalence chronic disease, especially in the elderly, is a risk factor of chronic lower limb wounds, whose management involves screening and treatment of peripheral arterial obstructive disease (PAOD), which must be systematic. Aim : Evaluate the screening and the management of PAOD amongst those patients, hospitalized in a Geriatric Department.

Methods: Observational, retrospective, monocentric study, including all the elderly above 75 years old, with diabetes, and a wound in the lower limb, hospitalized from 01/01/2018 to 29/02/2020 at Henri Mondor hospital in Créteil.
