Linking diabetic retinopathy with foot ulcer severity among diabetic patients
View through CrossRef
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are common complications of diabetes mellitus, both driven by chronic hyper-glycemia. A significant correlation between Diabetic retinopathy severity and diabetic foot ulcers grade, as well as with elevated HbA1c levels was found among 62 patients in this cross-sectional study. Diabetic retinopathy was classified using the ETDRS system and diabetic foot ulcers by Wagner's grading. The results highlight Diabetic retinopathy as a potential clinical marker for diabetic foot ulcers progression. Integrating retinal evaluation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers may aid in early intervention and improved outcomes.
