GARCIA PARODI, Lucía; SOLDEVILLA AGREDA, Javier  y  GARCIA FERNANDEZ, Francisco Pedro. Healing and quality of life and healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers in the Latin American area. Gerokomos [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.4, pp.251-256.  Epub 17-Ene-2022. ISSN 1134-928X.

Introduction:

Diabetic foot ulcers (UPD, in spanish) are a common complication of diabetes, and not just a major mortality factor, and negatively influence the quality of life of people with diabetes.

Objectives:

To establish the relationship between the evolution of UPD healing using the RESVECH 2.0 scale and the quality of life of patients with UPD from the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale DFS-SF in different health centers in Latin American countries.

Methodology:

Longitudinal prospective observational study of repeated measures of a cohort of patients with UPD. The impact that UPDs and their treatment produce on health-related quality of life (CVRS, in spanish) was analyzed using the DFS-SF Scale and the relationship between healing (Resvech 2.0 scale) in the Latin American context (Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay).

Results:

The global score for the different moments of the study showed an increase in CVRS from baseline to 8 weeks. The variables that most influenced were: the type of country, the characteristics of the caregiver and the treatment of diabetes at the different moments of the study. Regarding CVRS and the healing process, the results show that there is a correlation between both variables p <0.0001 in the three periods of the study.

Conclusions:

There is an association between CVRS of patients with UPD, according to the type of country, the level of education and the treatment of diabetes in the three moments of the study. The type of physical mobility, the characteristics caregiver and the presence of amputation are the factors that most influenced the healing of patients with UPD. The improvement in Scarring influences the quality of life of patients with UPD.
