Risk factors for mortality in patients with diabetic foot infections: A prospective cohort study

Internal Medicine Journal Dec 11, 2018

Lynar SA, et al. – In this prospective cohort study carried out between May 2012 and October 2016, researchers assessed mortality risk and linked factors in patients with diabetic foot infections (DFI) in an Australian context. Study participants included 413 consecutive diabetic adults with 737 admissions referred to high-risk foot service for DFI. The investigators estimated 1-year mortality, the primary outcome, via Cox regression analysis, which assessed risk factors for mortality. They found that mortality was associated with factors like older age, hemodialysis, isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and ischemic heart disease; indigenous status and HbA1c > 7%, however, were observed to be protective. Overall, those undergoing hemodialysis and older age were noted under high-risk groups.
