Maltese G, et al. - In this prospective cohort study, researchers evaluated the prevalence of risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea in people with diabetic foot ulcers as well as determined whether this risk predicts diabetic foot ulcer healing via analyzing 94 consecutive people (69% men) with diabetic foot ulcers attending a university hospital foot unit. Participants in the study were screened for obstructive sleep apnoea using the STOP-BANG questionnaire, with a score ≥4 identifying high risk of obstructive sleep apnoea. In people with diabetic foot ulcers, a high prevalence of features and risk of obstructive sleep apnoea were noted. They found that a STOP-BANG score ≥4 forecast poor diabetic foot ulcer healing. The study findings suggested that obstructive sleep apnoea might be a potential, modifiable risk factor/treatment target to improve diabetic foot ulcer outcomes.
