Title: Analysis on Risk Factors of Diabetic Foot in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract: Objective To investigate the proportion of diabetic foot in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and to analyze the risk factors for diabetic foot. Methods According to whether the patients had diabetic foot or not,276 patients with T2DM were divided into two groups.All the probable risk factors were collected,including sex,age,course,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure(BP: SBP/DBP),the duration of hypertension and smoking,fasting plasma glucose(FPG), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose(2 h PG),glycated hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),Fbg,serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),total protein,albumin,and diabetic nephropathy. And the difference of the clinical risk factors was compared between the two groups. Results There were statistically significant difference in age,course,SBP,DBP,2 h PG,HbA1C,HDL-C,LDL-C,Fbg,Scr,BUN,total protein,albumin,and diabetic nephropathy between the two groups(P0.05).Multiple-factor non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that years of T2DM,HbA1c,Fbg,albumin,and diabetic nephropathy are the independent risk factors for diabetic foot. Conclusions The diabetic foot can be prevented by controlling blood glucose and blood viscosity strictly and by treating the chronic diabetic complications.
