Aims: This study aimed to evaluate correlation between bacterial count using a rapid bacteria counting system and wound healing on diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) Methods: This study had a prospective cohort design. The study population included 30 DFU patients with new ulcers. This study was conducted at Kitamura Wound Care clinic Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, from March to July 2016. The participants were followed up for 4 weeks. Results: There were significant differences in the bacteria count between baseline versus end study (p = 0.005, t = 3.072; paired sample test). There were significant differences wound area between baseline versus end study (p = 0.000, t = 5.219; paired sample test). There was positive correlation between bacterial count and change of wound area (r = 0.24, n = 90, p = 0.01; Spearman's rho). Conclusions: These results indicated that there was correlation bacterial count against wound healing on DFU's in clinical setting. Therefore, a rapid bacteria counting system could be used to evaluate bacterial count against wound healing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
