“…In other studies, abnormal ABI have been reported 12-21% 15 , 17 which has been associated with male gender, but in our study, sex showed no significant relationship with vascular disorders (p=0.6).In our study the prevalence of abnormal ABI was lower than other studies. Previous history of foot ulcers in studied patients was 7% that in comparison with other studies (5-16%) was in low prevalence range.…”

“…Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test has been used in combination with other tests in the compared series [8,18,21] Although the IWGDF classification system has been shown to predict diabetic foot complications [6], it may undervalue the impact of PAD and history of amputation. Modified versions of the IWGDF classification have been proposed, individualizing the group of isolated PAD as a risk group [16,22], or separating the groups of ulceration history or amputation history [22].…”

“…Data on the prevalence of diabetic people at risk for foot ulceration are missing in Tunisia and are rarely reported in diabetic outpatients [8]. Thus, we aimed in this study to assess diabetic foot ulcer risk factors according to the IWGDF classification, stratify patients into risk categories and identify factors associated with higher-risk grade in diabetic outpatients Methods…”

Thus, we aimed in this study to assess diabetic foot ulcer risk factors according to the IWGDF classification, stratify patients into risk categories and identify factors associated with higher-risk grade in people with diabetes in a tunisian diabetes-endocrinology outpatient department.…”
