Popis: Prognosis for 75 diabetic patients with foot ulcers. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognosis regarding amputation and mortality in 75 consecutively presenting diabetic patients admitted because of foot ulcers. Median follow-up was 16 months. The amputation rate was 69% but only 4 major amputations were done. The mortality rate was 10.6%. Peripheral vascular disease was present in 69 patients. These finding stress the poor short-term prognosis of diabetic patients with foot ulcers and peripheral vascular disease.
