Minor amputation does not negatively affect health‐related quality of life as compared with conservative treatment in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer: An observational study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews"
DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.2867
Abstract: Health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) is poor in patients with persistent diabetic foot ulcers and poor HRQoL predicts worse outcomes in these patients. Amputation is often considered a treatment failure, which is why conservative treatment… read more here.
