Abstract

A prospective study conducted from January 2012 to December 2014 was performed in a diabetes treatment unit to assess risk factors associated with relapse of hallucinations. Sixty patients with diabetic neuropathy and a history of ulcers were included continuously. Sociopathological factors and comorbidities as well as biomechanical and radiological factors were obtained. Participants were followed up monthly, and they wore load-reducing therapy shoes and custom insoles. Hallux recurrence during follow-up was evaluated as the primary endpoint of the study. Patients were followed for 29 (14.2-64.4) months. 29 patients (52%) with new ulcers: 9 patients (31%) in the hall and 20 (69%) in other locations. Are functional hallucinations limit (, 95% CI (2,097-73,128), HR 12,384) and increased body mass index (, 95% CI (1,003-1,272), HR 1.129) related to survival time hallucinogenic ulceration in a multivariable Cox model. Obesity and the presence of functional hallucination limitation increase the likelihood of developing recurrent hallucinations in patients with diabetic neuropathy and a history of ulcers.
