ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To assesses the relationship between the wear and tear of therapeutic footwear (TF) and the risk of recurrence in diabetes remission patients.METHODS:
Remission patients (N = 115) participated in this 5-year prospective study in a specialized Diabetic Foot Unit between October 2016 and January 2022. Patients' TF was assessed in a three-month interval from Day 0 until ulcer recurrence was found. Primary outcome measure was based on the recurrent event in the forefoot.RESULTS:
A total of 82 patients (71.3%) renewed their TF, and 33 patients (28.7%) did not renew their TF during the follow-up period. Patients who failed to renew their TF group experienced more recurrent events (22 vs 14, p <.001, CI [0.04-0.259]) and minor amputations (11 vs 8, p =.002, CI [0.07-0.6]). Both groups showed different recurrence-free survival median times of 205.5 [Interquartile range (IQR) - 188-222] weeks and 89.9 [IQR - 53-126] weeks. Patients who did not renew their TF increased their risk of suffering from a recurrent event in the Cox regression model (p <.001, CI [0.03-0.38], Hazzard Ratio 0.147).CONCLUSIONS:
Patients who renewed their TF because of wear and tear experienced lower recurrences and minor amputations.Palavras-chave
