I would like to share about the diabetic foot ulcer surveillance system. I choose this condition because it is a chronic disease leading to disability, caregivers’ burden, and significantly increasing healthcare costs. The objective of this system is to monitor the treatment, complication, and expenditure.
Very nice presentation. I link your graphics in the slides, helpful and attractive. I was just wondering whether we should start collecting data on patients who prone to get diabetic foot (but not yet having it). So that we can early detect and prevent the disease.
Thank you for your comment. I agree with you that we can collect data on who is prone to have a diabetic foot ulcer, as classified by IWGDF guidelines as low, moderate, and severe risk. We can collect data on which impairment, site of abnormal pressure (callus), and management they receive along with patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
Thank you for a nice presentation. I really like your presentation slides!! A diabetic foot ulcer is one of the serious issues in patients with diabetes. I also agree that we may perform active surveillance in patients who have an elevated risk to develop a diabetic foot ulcer, in order to provide early detection and prevention since most people are not aware they’re at risk. Well done!!
Thank you for sharing. This is a fascinating surveillance system, and I agree that diabetic foot ulcers are significant problems that can lead to disability. However, you can add the IWGDF guidance on preventing foot ulcers in at-risk patients with diabetes to fulfill your surveillance system.
