Abstract

Some patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) may suffer from depression, but the latest information regarding the incidence of depression in patients with DFUs is limited. This review aimed to provide up-to-date information concerning the incidence of depression in patients with DFUs. We searched the literature in PubMed and Web of Science databases, limited to English publications. 11 eligible studies with a total of 2117 participants were included in this review. A random-effects model was applied due to high heterogeneity. The incidence of depression in patients with DFUs ranged from 26% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 19% to 33%) to 85% (95% CI = 78% to 92%), and was 47% (95% CI = 36% to 58%) after systematically summarizing. Subgroup analyses suggested that the incidence of depression were 49% (95%CI = 35% to 63%) in Europe, 37% (95% CI = 23% to 51%) in Asia, 62% (95% CI = 48% to 76%) in North America. Additionally, the incidence of depression were 40% (95% CI = 29% to 50%) in prospective studies, 55% (95% CI = 28% to 82%) in retrospective studies, 40% (95% CI = 29% to 50%) in cross-sectional studies. Furthermore, the incidence of depression were 43% (95% CI = 25% to 60%), 49% (95% CI = 35% to 63%), 68% (95% CI = 35% to 102%), 32% (95% CI = 26% to 38%), and 28% (95% CI = 18% to 38%) in patients with DFUs assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, EuroQol 5-Dimension Questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, respectively. The estimates were robust in the sensitivity analysis. According to the meta-regression analyses, diabetes mellitus duration ( t = 0.93, P = .422), publication years ( t = −0.72, P = .488), and age of subjects ( t = 0.01, P = .989) were not the sources of high heterogeneity. Our meta-analysis showed nearly half of patients with DFUs had depression problems.

  • In a prospective study of 478 patients, patients who received a referral for revascularization within 56 days had improved rate of wound healing compared with those with longer time to revascularization (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.52-2.52; P < .001).

    “A prospective study of 478 patients identified an improved rate of wound healing among patients undergoing revascularization with shorter time to healing among those who received a referral for revascularization within 56 days compared with those who had a longer time to revascularization (hazard ratio [HR], 1.96; 95% CI, 1.52-2.52;P < .001[absolute rates not provided]).78,81”

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.
