Five-year mortality in patients with diabetic foot ulcer during 2009-2010 was lower than expected.

CONCLUSION: Mortality rates were not as high as expected despite the large number of comorbidities, suggesting that progress has been made in the health management of these patients. In particular, patients with neuropathic foot ulcer had a survival rate of 84% at 5 years. PMID: 31400509 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
