Objetivos: Establecer la relación entre la evolución de la cicatrización de las UPD mediante la escala RESVECH 2.0 y la calidad de vida de los pacientes con UPD a partir de la escala Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale (DFS-SF) en distintos centros de salud de países latinoamericanos.  Metodología: Estudio observacional prospectivo longitudinal de medidas repetidas de una cohorte de pacientes con UPD. Se analizó el impacto que las UPD y su tratamiento producen sobre la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS) mediante la escala DFS-SF y la relación entre la cicatrización (escala RESVECH 2.0) en el contexto latinoamericano (Argentina, México, Perú, Uruguay).  Resultados: La puntuación global para los distintos momentos del estudio mostró un incremento en la CVRS desde el inicio hasta las 8 semanas. Las variables que más influyeron fueron: el tipo de país, las características del cuidador y el tratamiento de la diabetes en los distintos momentos del estudio. En cuanto a la CVRS y el proceso de cicatrización, los resultados muestran que existe correlación entre ambas variables (p &lt; 0,0001) en los tres periodos del estudio.  Conclusiones: Existe asociación entre la CVRS de los pacientes con UPD, según el tipo de país, el nivel de estudios y el tratamiento de la diabetes en los tres momentos del estudio. El tipo de movilidad física, las características del cuidador y la presencia de amputación son los factores que más influyeron en la cicatrización de los pacientes con UPD. La mejora en la cicatrización influye en la calidad de vida de los pacientes con UPD.]]></p></abstract>

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 &lt;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.]]></p></abstract>
