SCORE2-Diabetes: 10-year cardiovascular risk estimation in type 2 diabetes in Europe.
SCORE2-Diabetes was developed by extending SCORE2 algorithms using individual-participant data from four large-scale datasets comprising 229 460 participants (43 706 CVD events) with type 2 diabetes and without ...
Evolution of patient characteristics and outcomes concerning diabetic foot ulcer care in Belgium between 2008 and 2020
cross-sectional way using Generalized Estimating Equations (SAS9.4). Results: The number of people with a new DFU included were 985 in 2008 (20 MDFC s) and increased to 1.579 in 2020 (35 MDFC s). Patients became ...
Validation of the Flemish-Dutch diabetic foot ulcer scale short form (DFS-SF) questionnaire for diabetic foot ulcers
comparisons were conducted to examine construct validity. Correlation with EQ-5D-5L was used to test criterion validity. The full study protocol has been published earlier (Rezaie et al. ...
Validation of the Flemish-Dutch Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) questionnaire for diabetic foot ulcers
(Cronbach’s alpha) and measurement error (agreement). Spearman’s correlations and known-group comparisons were conducted to examine construct validity. Correlation with EQ-5D-5L was used to test criterion ...
Sex differences in diabetic foot ulcer severity and outcome in Belgium
were used. Results The vast majority of patients included were male (72%). Ulcers in men were deeper, more frequently displaying probe to bone, and more frequently deeply infected. Twice as many men presented ...
The COVID-19 pandemic minimally interfered with delivery of care and did not result in worse outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers in Belgium
lockdown received more often ankle-high offloading using a shoe (B: 60% vs. C: 42%; p<0.05). Revascularization rates of patients with (sub)critical ischemia were similar, however less patients that ...
Bottom-up approach to build a ‘precision’ risk factor classification for diabetic foot ulcer healing. Proof-of-concept
It is crucial to identify essential prognostic variables to streamline therapeutic actions and quality-of-care audits. Although SINBAD and University of Texas (UT), the most frequently used prognostic ...
International comparison of glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes: an update and extension.
(7.5-8.9%) and ≥75 mmol/mol (≥9.0%) were compared between populations for individuals aged <15, 15-24 and ≥25 years. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) of HbA < 58 mmol/mol ...
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.
Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is another PROM that can be used to measure physical functioning in patients with lower extremity disorders. The LEFS is not yet validated for DFU. Both instruments ...
Declining offloading rates in Belgian Recognized Diabetic Foot Clinics (RDFC): results from an audit-feedback quality improvement initiative.
(Diabetic Foot Ulcer) are offloaded in RDFC and the evolution over time. RDFC receive their results after each audit for benchmarking (IQED-Foot project). Method: Comparison of offloading methods used in ...
