INTRODUCTION[|]Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment method applied by intermittently breathing 100% oxygen and a commonly used supportive therapy for patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HBOT in patients with DFU. [¤]METHODS[|]Thirty patients with HBOT and 42 patients without HBOT who were followed-up between 2016 and 2018 in our hospital were randomly selected and the epidemiologic, clinical characteristics of both groups, clinical outcomes of the patients were compared at the end of treatment.[¤]RESULTS[|]26 patients (86.7%) in the HBOT group and 14 patients (33.3%) in the non-HBOT group were PEDIS 3-4 (p = 0.000). The rates of re-hospitalization were significantly higher in the HBOT group (p = 0.005). Major and minor amputations were found to be similar in both groups, but in the HBOT group (p = 0.035 vs. p = 0.128). [¤]DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION[|]In our study, it was thought that the rate of recurrent hospitalization and the need for surgical intervention in HBOT receiving group may be related to the presence of advanced stage of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in these patients. Amputation rates are similar in both groups and randomized, multicentre prospective studies are needed to evaluate HBOT efficacy. [¤] |
