- W2040861004 abstract "Elderly diabetic patients are particularly burdened by foot disease. The main causes for foot disease are peripheral neuropathy, foot deformities and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Other risk factors include poor vision, gait abnormalities, reduced mobility an medical co-morbidities. The risk of major amputations increases with age, along with the increased prevalence of these risk factors. Th true risk of amputation and other burdens of foot disease in the elderly are likely underestimated by current epidemiological data. Th prevalence of neuropathy, foot deformities and PAD as well as the risk of amputation all increase with age even in non-diabetic patients. The principles of prevention and management of diabetic foot disease may also apply to large segments of the elderly non-diabetic population. Foot ulcer prevention relies on the identification of high risk patients and avoidance of triggering events, such as ill-fitting shoes, walking barefoot or poor self-care. PAD is a major cause of amputation and should be prevented by lifelong attention to glycaemic control, treatment of hypertension and dyslipidemia, and avoidance of smoking. The treatment of foot ulcers relies on pressure relief (off-loading), wound debridement, and treatment of infection and ischemia. It requires an individualized approach considering the patient's co-morbidities and functional status. Off-loading remains essential, but devices such as total contact casts or crutches can only rarely be implemented. However, providing adapted standard foot-wear and insisting on its consistent use even at home is often effective. The benefits of aggressive vascular or orthopaedic surgery should be weighed against the risks of prolonged hospitalisation and resulting functional decline. Greater attention to prevention and individualized care are needed to reduce the burden of diabetic foot disease in the elderly." @default.
