Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes

With the advancement of dynamic blood glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and the increase in applications, researchers have revealed some specific indicators in the overall blood glucose control assessment based on consensus statements issued by several organizations

This study evaluated the correlation between time within range (TIR) ​​and amputation and all-cause mortality in hospitalized patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU)

Materials and Method

A retrospective analysis of 303 DFU inpatients

result

Of the 303 patients enrolled, 50 (16.

(A) Calculate the average percentage of blood glucose readings, p-values, of all participants in each group that fall within the specified range by t-test

(B) The percentage of amputation and all-cause mortality were calculated by TIR quartiles, and the p trend value was calculated by ANOVA and linear polynomial comparison

Both amputation and all-cause mortality are negatively correlated with TIR

Figure 2 : Spearman correlation coefficient between blood glucose indicators

The results showed that some blood glucose indicators were highly correlated (MBG and grade 2 TAR were 0.

in conclusion

Among patients with DFU during hospitalization, TIR was strongly negatively correlated with amputation and all-cause mortality
