Finding strongly linked between anemia and diabetic foot ulcers

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers and anemia are two typical complications of diabetes. For this reason, we set out to gather data on the prevalence of anemia in persons with and without diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) of similar ages and sex. Method: The Department of Medicine HMC hospital Peshawar conducted this multi-center study from October 2020 to October 2021 in their interdisciplinary diabetic foot clinic. Those who took part in the study were split into two groups: those with DFUs (the Case group) and those without (the Control group) (people without DFUs). Biochemical and hematological markers, as well as demographic data, were collected from the outset. DFU in the case group was categorized and staged using the UT system. Anemic subjects with other obvious explanations were not included. Controls were recruited from a diabetes clinic that offered presentations during the same time frame. SPSS version 24 was used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results: A total of 80 people were studied, split evenly between the case and control groups regarding age and gender. Men made up the majority of the 60 participants (74%).
