NA patients weremore likely to receive an endovascular procedure (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0,1.4; P 1⁄4 .04) but less likely to undergo open surgery for revascularization (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6,0.9; P 1⁄4 .03). Themean hospital length of stay was significantly longer for AA (8.01 days), Hispanic (8.02 days), and NA (7.9 days) patients compared with white patients (7.35 days; P < .001). Conclusions: There are disparities in inpatient management of DFU and outcomes among racial and ethnic groups. Further study is required to address and to limit racial disparities in the outcomes of these at-risk patients who have this often silent, sinister syndrome.
