| Abstract;We determined the prevalence of so-called diabetic foot by a detailed questionnaire given to diabetic patients and their attending physicians recruited from 7 hospitals in southern Okayama. Prevalence of symptoms suggestive of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was 36.5%, a prevalence that increased with the duration from diabetes diagnosis. Among all patients, 26.6% were suggestively diagnosed as having diabetic neuropathy by attending physicians. Apart from these patients symptoms possively related to vascular disease of the lower limbs were present in 15.7% of patients and possively related to radiculopathy in 13.2%. Foot lesions associated with non-diabetes in diagnosis by attending physicians, were present in 24.9%. The frequency of symptoms related to diabetic neuropathy was relatively high but differed from the frequency of diagnosis by attending physicians. In the diagnosis of diabetic foot, the possibility remains that patients with nondiabetic foot lesions may be included among the patients. (author abst.) |
