ABSTRACT

Introduction: Diabetic foot is a health problem in patients with diabetes mellitus and is registered as the first cause of non-traumatic amputation of limbs. The knowledge of its clinical-epidemiological characteristics is of great interest.
Objective: Clinically and epidemiologically to characterize patients with neuroinfectious diabetic foot in the Hospital "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" of Santiago de Cuba.
Method: A retrospective descriptive study was carried out. The universe consisted of 96 patients diagnosed with diabetic foot during the period between 2011 and 2015. Demographic variables related to general and specific risk factors of diabetic foot were used.
Results: The diabetic foot predominated between the fourth and sixth decades of life (24.7%) and in female patients (59.7%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was represented in 52.5%. While the most frequent risk factor for diabetic foot was obesity (56.7%), diabetic neuropathy as a specific risk factor was present in 98.9% of the patients studied.
Conclusions: The diabetic foot predominated in the fourth and sixth decades of life and in the female sex. The highest percentage of patients was a carrier of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity, peripheral diabetic neuropathy, overweight, and hyperglycemia were the prevailing risk factors.
