Abstract
Objective: To study the levels of risk in developing foot ulcerby using the University of Texas Diabetic Foot Classification System (UTDFC) at Srisaket Hospital
Design: Across-sectional descriptive study
Setting: Outpatient diabetes mellitus specialty clinic (DM clinic) at Srisaket Hospital, Thailand
Method: Diabetes patient were purposion sampling from DM clinic during March to September 2010. Foot protective sensation test was examined according to UTDFC
Results: Four hundred and twenty-four diabetes patients were study. Most of patients were female (66 %). The average age was 58.2 years. Seventeen percents of case had loss of protective sensation. One percents of case had absent pulse pressure. The patients, 240 fall into category 0 ( protective sensation intact), 75 into category 1 (loss of protective sensation,LOPS), 22 into category 2 (LOPS with deformity), and 3 into category 6 (dysvascular foot)
Conclusion: Fifty-two percents of patients in DM clinic had at least category 1 of UTDFC that are risk to develop diabetic foot ulcer in the future. Diabetic patients have to learn how to care their feet to prevent diabetic foot ulcer related morbidity and disabilities.
