Healing diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers: are we getting better?
To benchmark by year the likelihood that an individual with a diabetic neuropathic foot ulcer will heal over more than a 10-year period. ⋯ We have shown that individuals with a diabetic neuropathic foot ulcer seeking care are more likely to heal today than 10 years ago. The primary reason for this improvement is that individuals are seeking care when their wounds are most easily treated and these are now more likely to heal.
