To ascertain whether patients with type 2 diabetes are screened for diabetic foot, and to analyze the factors related to patients and centers associated to performance of such screening.
A multicenter, epidemiological, cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinical records of 443 patients with type 2 diabetes monitored at Primary Care for at least 12 months were reviewed. Demographic and healthcare variables and characteristics of the primary care center were recorded.
In the previous year, 51.2% of patients had been trained on foot self-care, 56.4% had undergone foot inspection, 39.5% had been examined with a monofilament, and palpation of peripheral pulses and measurement of the ankle-brachial index were performed in 45.8 and 10.1% of patients, respectively. Diabetic foot screening (inspection, monofilament testing, and palpation of peripheral pulses) was performed in 37% of study patients. Ulcer risk stratification was done in 12.4% of patients. A significant association was found between diabetic foot screening and presence of foot deformities (P<.001), history of neuropathy (P=.005), and history of peripheral artery disease (P<.05). Screening was also associated to some characteristics of the center, such as reception of information about goal achievement (P<.001) and economic incentives for goal attainment (P<.001).
Compliance with diabetic foot screening and ulcer risk stratification in patients with type 2 diabetes in Primary Care was poor.
确定2型糖尿病患者是否接受糖尿病足筛查,并分析与患者及进行此类筛查的中心相关的因素。
开展了一项多中心、流行病学横断面研究。回顾了在基层医疗中接受至少12个月监测的443例2型糖尿病患者的临床记录。记录了人口统计学和医疗保健变量以及基层医疗中心的特征。
在上一年,51.2%的患者接受了足部自我护理培训,56.4%的患者接受了足部检查,39.5%的患者接受了单丝检查,分别有45.8%和10.1%的患者进行了外周脉搏触诊和踝臂指数测量。37%的研究患者进行了糖尿病足筛查(检查、单丝测试和外周脉搏触诊)。12.4%的患者进行了溃疡风险分层。发现糖尿病足筛查与足部畸形的存在(P<0.001)、神经病变史(P=0.005)和外周动脉疾病史(P<0.05)之间存在显著关联。筛查还与中心的一些特征相关,如关于目标达成的信息接收(P<0.001)和目标达成的经济激励(P<0.001)。
基层医疗中2型糖尿病患者对糖尿病足筛查和溃疡风险分层的依从性较差。
