Effects of diabetes-related foot ulcer depth on healing days, cost, and quality of life: A prospective observational study.

The relationship between the depth of the diabetes-related foot ulcers, and the healing days, cost, and QOL was examined.Depth 4 and 5 ulcers, namely beyond the tendons, exhibited significantly longer healing days and higher costs than Depth 2 and 3 ulcers. As for QOL, there were no significant differences in utility values between the depth categories.

Impact of foot ulcer-related factors on quality of life in patients with diabetes: Prospective observational study.

Quality of life (QOL) may be impacted by foot ulcer-related factors, with prevention of diabetes-related foot ulcers or more effective early healing helping to improve overall patient QOL. This study, which examined the relationship between foot ulcer-related factors and QOL in patients with diabetes, was conducted as a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study entitled: "Factors associated with the discontinuation of wound care specialist clinic visits in patients with diabetic foot ulcers". We investigated EQ-5D-5L, patient characteristics and foot ulcer-related factors of 73 patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers who visited one wound clinic in Indonesia between August 2020 and February 2021.

Differences in characteristics between first-ever foot ulcer and recurrent foot ulcer in patients with diabetes: Prospective observational study.

Background And Aims: More effective preventive care can potentially be provided if the characteristics of both the first ever and the recurrent foot ulcers can be clarified. The purpose of this study was to characterize first ever and recurrent foot ulcers in diabetic patients.

Methods: This study was conducted as a secondary analysis of a prospective study that was entitled: "Factors associated with the discontinuation of wound care specialist clinic visits in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

INDIFURUTO: A novel tool for assessing diabetic foot recurrence risk in type 2 diabetes.

This study aimed to evaluate diabetic foot ulcer recurrence using the Indonesia Diabetic Foot Ulcer Recurrence Assessment Tool (INDIFURUTO), a new diabetic foot risk recurrence assessment tool.

The effectiveness of a thermography-driven preventive foot care protocol on the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers in low-medical resource settings: An open-labeled randomized controlled trial.

Background: Plantar temperature monitoring, along with a comprehensive preventive foot care approach, is utilized to prevent recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers. However, there is a lack of standardized protocols for individuals with diabetic foot ulcer history in low-medical resource countries.

Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of nurse-led, thermographic-evaluation-guided foot care in preventing diabetic foot ulcer recurrence in a low-medical resource country.

The Validity and Efficacy of a Preventative Intervention Model for Reducing Ulcer Recurrence in Diabetic Patients in Indonesia.

Introduction: It is important to reduce foot problems by preventing the recurrence of ulcers in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. In Indonesia, interventions for the prevention of ulcer recurrence remain scarce.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the validity and efficacy of a proposed intervention model for preventing the recurrence of ulcers in DM patients.

A diabetic foot wound healing assessment tool: A scoping review.

Background: Indonesia faces a challenge in controlling the burden of diabetic foot ulcers, which necessitates a nursing care management approach to optimize the healing of complications by accurately monitoring wound healing progress using wound assessment tools.

Methods: This literature review, which is part of a scoping study framework, searched electronic databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar to find papers relevant to the Indonesian context. Five papers were chosen from a total of 463 papers discovered.

The SHID wound classification system for diabetic foot ulcer patients: a validity study.

This study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity of the SHID (Suriadi, Haryanto, Imran dan Defa) wound classification system compared to TU (Texas University) and Wagner wound classification systems in Indonesia. A prospective cohort study included patients with diabetic foot ulcers at Kitamura wound clinic in Indonesia. A total of 111 diabetic foot ulcer patients were assessed with SHID, TU, and Wagner wound classification systems.

Ultrasonographic features of diabetic foot osteomyelitis: a case series.

Objective: Osteomyelitis is a limb-threatening complication of diabetic foot ulcers. Early identification of the disease is key to ensuring successful prognosis. In this study, we describe ultrasonographic features for the identification of osteomyelitis.

Successful treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer with exposed bone using Trigona honey: a case study.
