People with T2D and social deprivation have higher incidence of foot ulceration and mortality

Investigators wanted to find out whether social deprivation in the presence of diabetes is an independent predictor of developing a foot ulcer and separately of mortality. They performed a primary-care-based retrospective analysis looking back over 10.5 years. Demographic characteristics, indices of social deprivation and clinical variables were assessed at baseline. This study confirms high mortality rates in individuals with diabetes-related foot ulcers. In addition, socioeconomic disadvantage was found to lead to an increased burden of mortality in people with diabetes who develop foot ulceration.
