Analysis of patient characteristics and clinical outcome in wound grades of diabetic foot ulcer in Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Keywords:
patient characteristics, clinical outcome, wound grades, diabetic foot ulcerAbstract
Introduction: Diabetic foot is utmost severe factor of diabetes which has negative consequences on the sufferance’s life. Among diabetes serious and life threatening complications, diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is very serious problem. Macro and micro vascular complications, time period of diabetes mellitus and bordering neuropathy govern the chance of foot ulcer. Staphylococcus aureus (a Bacterium) is the main cause of diabetic foot ulcer it has antibiotic resistance genes which makes it resistant to antibiotics. Diabetic fool ulcer is spread by harmful and lytic way on the host cell. Objective: To analyze the patient characteristics and clinical outcome in wound grades of diabetic foot ulcer. Material and Method: First sample is collected from 150 patients suffering from DFU. Bacterial colonies were obtained from culture. Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method was used to check the antibiotic susceptibility. DNA was extracted and PCR was run to amplify Pantone Valentine Leukocidin gene using primers. Results were analyzed through SPSS version. Results: Total patients were 150. More than 50yrs was the mean age. 51.3% were female and on the other hand, 48.7% were male.
