Remotely Delivered Monitoring and Management of Diabetes-Related Foot Disease: An Overview of Systematic Reviews

Aaron Drovandi et al.

Summary: This overview examines the effectiveness, stakeholder perceptions, and cost-effectiveness of remotely delivered healthcare for diabetes-related foot disease (DFD). The study found that remotely delivered healthcare for DFD is well received by patients and clinicians, but its effectiveness remains unclear. More high-quality trials are needed to evaluate the risks and benefits of remotely delivered DFD management.

How patients with diabetic foot ulcers experience telemedicine solutions: A scoping review

Susanne Friis Sondergaard et al.

Summary: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication of diabetes that greatly impacts patients' quality of life. Treatment requires a multi-sectoral approach and telemedicine (TM) can be an effective tool for communication and follow-up care. This review examines the literature on patients' experiences and views regarding the use of TM solutions for DFUs and highlights the importance of further investigation from both patients' and caregivers' perspectives.

Etiology, Epidemiology, and Disparities in the Burden of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Katherine McDermott et al.

Summary: Diabetic foot ulcers are a preventable cause of morbidity in adults with diabetes, leading to functional decline, infection, hospitalization, amputation, and death. The lifetime risk of foot ulcer is increasing and recurrent ulcers are common. Amputation and mortality rates are high and linked to poor diabetes management. Prevention and early detection through multidisciplinary care are crucial to reduce morbidity and disparities associated with diabetic foot ulcers.

Patient-perceived and practitioner-perceived barriers to accessing foot care services for people with diabetes mellitus: a systematic literature review

Megan McPherson et al.

Summary: This study has identified multiple barriers to accessing foot care services from the perspectives of both patients and practitioners. Patients primarily focused on patient-level factors, while practitioners focused on barriers related to the healthcare system, with some overlap between the two. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing both perspectives for future integration of policy changes and access facilitators.

A qualitative study of barriers to care-seeking for diabetic foot ulceration across multiple levels of the healthcare system

Tze-Woei Tan et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the personal experiences and barriers faced by patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in navigating the healthcare system. The findings revealed significant barriers at the individual, interpersonal, community, and societal levels in accessing medical care for DFUs. These data provide opportunities to address diabetic foot complications and the inequitable burden of healthcare management for DFUs.

Diabetic foot ulcers: Epidemiology and the role of multidisciplinary care teams

Rebecca Sorber et al.

Summary: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and serious complication of diabetes, with complex treatment and high costs. Social determinants of health play a significant role in outcomes for diabetes and foot ulcers, with worse outcomes seen in minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Multidisciplinary team care models have been effective in reducing care barriers and improving treatment outcomes.

Geographical socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with adverse outcomes following major amputation in diabetic patients

George Q. Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found an independent association between geographic socioeconomic disadvantage and 1-year reamputation rates among patients undergoing major amputation for diabetes, but no association with 30-day readmission rates. Factors such as female sex, type of insurance, and clinical factors were associated with readmission rates, while reamputation rates were associated with socioeconomic disadvantage, reasons for readmission, and conditions like congestive heart failure.
