Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Boulton, Andrew J.M., Kirsner, Robert S., Vileikyte, Loretta·2004·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A 58-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus has an asymptomatic plantar ulcer on the left foot that remains unhealed after four months. The ulcer measures 2 by 1 cm and is surrounded by callus under the first metatarsal head. Neurologic examination reveals loss of sensation of touch, pinprick, and vibration below the midcalf level bilaterally and the absence of ankle reflexes; the foot pulses are normal. How should this patient be evaluated and treated?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
