“…Leg pain while walking was reported by over 1/3 of the respondents. And although the average value of the ICQ questionnaire in the entire group, or even only in the PAD group, was low compared to critical limb ischaemia [11,28], what is worrying is the fact that symptomatic patients did not have any previous tests. These results also indicate non-compliance with the guidelines [2, 8-10], which recommend systematic foot examination at least once a year in patients with diabetes.…”

“…In addition, all subjects completed questionnaires assessing their expectations related to participation in the study, showing their attitude towards their own health condition and their specific quality of life related to the occurrence of symptoms of lower limb ischaemia. These were the following questionnaires, all in Polish: Intermittent Claudication Questionnaire (ICQ) [11], the patient request form questionnaire (PRF) [12,13], and the list of health criteria (LHZ) (Pl. lista kryteriów zdrowia -LKZ) [12].…”

Introduction:In Poland, treatment of patients with diabetes usually focuses on the control of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, and less frequently on the control of other long-term complications, including diabetes-related foot disease (DFD). The aim of the study was to assess the motivational factors and expectations of patients seeking screening for the risk of DFD.Material and methods: We invited volunteers over 40 years of age, with or without type 2 diabetes, to participate in this cross-sectional screening study. We conducted recruitment during the COVID-19 pandemic and recurring periods of restrictions in 2020-2022. Screening diagnostics offered included blood tests, chronic arterial disease screening (ABI, TBI, TcPO2), sensory loss screening protective function (assessment of pressure sensation with the Semmes-Weinstein vein and assessment of temperature sensation), and pedobarography. Subjects' expectations were assessed using the patient request form questionnaire, and their health perception was assessed using the list of health criteria.Results: Of the 143 subjects, only 85 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. 35.3% of people had DFD. People at risk of diabetes and DFD expect to receive early screening for foot disease, according to the guidelines. They expect appropriate tests to be carried out, the results to be discussed, along with the expected course of the disease, including possible complications. Respondents' expectations and perceptions of health depended on the duration and severity of the disease, not on COVID-related restrictions.Conclusions: We should take organizational actions that will enable people with diabetes to control not only metabolic and cardiological disorders, but also to prevent and diagnose foot diseases.

“…Only recently, the Intermittent Claudication Questionnaire, a PAD -specific health -related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire was validated in Polish. 15 We selected another questionnaire specific to HRQoL in PAD, namely, the Vascular Quality of Life Questionnaire (VascuQol), because it covers not only a spectrum of claudication symptoms but also demonstrates good reliability in evaluating patients with CLTI, who frequently present at our center. 16 Characteristics of the VascuQol The VascuQol consists of 25 questions covering 5 domains: activities, symptoms, pain (physical domains), as well as emotions and social behavior (mental domains).…”

“…Although recent efforts of Rosloniec et al15 have resulted in the first disease-specific HRQoL instrument for PAD that is validated in Polish, it would be not adequate for patients with CLTI, as they can barely walk 16. Literature reports and a review of available HRQoLs questionnaires indicated that the VascuQol is a robust tool for the assessment of the quality of life in PAD with a wide spectrum of clinical stages of the disease.…”

Background:Diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) is a serious complication of diabetes, increasing the risk of amputation.Coimplications are preventable, but most diabetics do not receive proper screening and treatment, despite indications. This study was a pilot screening of diabetes-related foot disease in a group of people with glycemic disorders. Material/Methods:We recruited 143 volunteers over 40 years of age. In the final analysis, we included 85 people diagnosed with glycemic disorders (diabetes or prediabetes), for whom we performed a total of 170 foot measurements. We screened for peripheral artery disease using: foot pulse, ankle-brachial index (manual and automatic), toe-brachial index, and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2). To screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, we used indicators of loss of protective sensation: pressure perception and temperature perception, and plantar pressure distribution. Results:A history of diabetes was reported by 26 (30.6%) of the subjects. Disorders of at least 1 foot occurred in 20 (66.7%) subjects with diagnosed diabetes and in 10 (17%) subjects declaring no diabetes. Higher risk and DFD category were correlated with duration of diabetes (r=0.68, p=0.007), glycemic levels (r=0.56, p=0.001), age (r=0.57, p=0.007), and the presence of other diabetes complications. The best predictor of risk in DFD was manual ABI, p=0.001; followed by automatic ABI, p=0.006. Conclusions:Our results showed that peripheral complications of diabetes, such as DFD, often remain undiagnosed and untreated despite the high risk of developing ulcers. There is a need for multi-center screening studies.
