摘要
Background: The aim of this study was to outline the patterns and management of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and compare our experience with other published data. Patients and methods: All consecutive patients admitted to Al-Jala Hospital with diabetic foot from June, 2008 to May, 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: A total of 542 patients were studied, Wagner's grade III ulcers were the most prevalent (31%), followed by grade II (25%). About 10% of patients underwent major amputations and 24.2% underwent minor amputations. The amputation rate was 34%, and the mortality rate was 2%. Conclusion: Diabetic foot infections cause significant morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes in Benghazi. There is a need to establish a diabetic foot clinic in Benghazi with a multidisciplinary team to reduce the rates of hospital admission and amputation, as well as hospital stay duration.
