SCORE2-Diabetes: 10-year cardiovascular risk estimation in type 2 diabetes in Europe.
variables (i.e. age at diabetes diagnosis, glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]). Models were recalibrated to CVD incidence in four European risk ...
Evolution of patient characteristics and outcomes concerning diabetic foot ulcer care in Belgium between 2008 and 2020
characteristics were recorded at baseline together with treatment and outcome during a 6-month follow-up period. A neutral weighting was applied to all variables. Evolution over time was studied in a repeated ...
Bottom-up approach to build a ‘precision’ risk factor classification for diabetic foot ulcer healing. Proof-of-concept
identify independent predictors of DFU healing. Methods: 1,664 DFU patients were included by 34 Belgian diabetic foot clinics (DFC s). Twenty-one patient- and foot-related characteristics were recorded at ...
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation rate and severity of diabetic foot ulcers in Belgium
presentation rate and severity of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) at presentation in Belgian DFC s. Materials and methods: A multicentre, prospective cohort study was done among 22 recognized DFC s in Belgium in ...
The COVID-19 pandemic strongly reduced the presentation rate of diabetic foot ulcers in Belgium, but the impact on severity was limited to slightly larger lesions
reluctant to visit the hospital. This study investigates the impact of the lockdown on presentation rate and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) severity at presentation. Method: Within the ongoing national care ...
Health-related quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulceration: study protocol for adaptation and validation of patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) in Dutch-speaking patients.
ANALYSIS: This study will be conducted as a monocentre observational cohort study in DFU patients presenting at a hospital-based multidisciplinary diabetic foot clinic. Data will be collected from the medical ...
Initiative for Quality Improvement and Epidemiology in Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Clinics (IQED-Foot)- Results of the 4th data collection (audit years 2013-2014)
problems of 4,917 unique patients were sampled in 20-34 centres. Foot problems were either a diabetic foot ulcer of at least Wagner grade 2 and/or an active Charcot foot. Data pertained to characteristics at ...
Clinical action measures improve the reliability of feedback on quality of care in diabetes centres: a retrospective cohort study.
TM, 60-70 % of the patients received good care. This percentage increased significantly using the CAM (+5 %, p < 0.001). At the centre level, the CAM was associated with a higher median score, and ...
Negative determinants of diabetic foot ulcer healing: 6-month follow-up of a large multicentre cohort
into account competing risks (major amputation and death), missingness of covariates and clustering of outcomes in DFC s. Results: At 6 months, the overall probability of healing, major amputation and ...
Implementation of a quality improvement initiative in Belgian diabetic foot clinics: feasibility and initial results.
median diabetes duration was 14 years and 64% were men. Of all diabetic foot ulcers, 51% were plantar and 29% were both ischaemic and deeply infected. Ulcer healing rate at 6 months significantly increased ...
