OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors and assess diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and amputation risk category (according to the 2015 International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) guidance) among patients with type 2 diabetes in the Suez governorate, Egypt.
METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the diabetic foot screening clinic of Suez General Hospital. A comprehensive sample of patients with type 2 diabetes attending the diabetes clinic every Saturday were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into four groups according to their history and foot examination: without neuropathy (Group 0); with neuropathy (Group 1); with neuropathy associated with deformity and/or vascular disorders (Group 2); and with foot ulcer or amputation history (Group 3).
RESULTS: A total of 220 patients were included in the study. Mean age of participants was 54.6±10.3 years and 70.5% of patients were female. The patients were divided into four groups: 37.3% were in group 0; 37.7% in group 1; 11.8% were in group 2; and 13.2% were in group 3. Male sex and diabetic complications (particularly neuropathy, cardiovascular disease and retinopathy) had the most significant effect on risk classification.
CONCLUSION: This study showed that 62.7% of patients with diabetes enrolled in the study were at risk of developing a DFU and amputation. Physicians should conduct a foot assessment and risk categorisation for all patients with diabetes as early management or referral could prevent further complications.
