Diabetic Gangrene Treatment
Gangrene localized death and decomposition of body tissue, resulting from obstructed circulation or bacterial infection. Gangrene is caused by a critically insufficient blood supply (e.g., peripheral vascular disease) or infection. It is associated with diabetes and long-term tobacco smoking. This condition most commonly occurs in the lower extremities (legs and feet).
Types Of Diabetic Gangrene
- Dry Gangrene
- Wet Gangrene
- Gas Gangrene
- Fournier Gangrene
Population of Diabetes Gangrene Patient in World
World diabetes prevalence. It is estimated that 415 million people are living with diabetes in the world, which is estimated to be 1 in 11 of the world's adult population. 46% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed. - Source : Diabetes.Co.Uk
The number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (1). The global prevalence of diabetes* among adults over 18 years of age has risen from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. - Source : World Health Organisation
Lifespan of Diabetes Gangrene Patient After Amputation
Patient survival 2 years after amputation of the second lower extremity was 62% and at 5 years 31%. Average survival time was 3.2 years. The average survival time in diabetics was only 2.0 years as opposed to 7.38 years in non-diabetics. Thus, the survival of diabetic patients was significantly shorter (p < 0.01) - Source : Science Direct
World Expenditure For Diabetes Gangrene
The mean spending for the amputation procedure itself was $14 088 (95% CI, $13 898-$14 278) per patient. The regions with the lowest mean spending on amputation-related hospitalization were Lebanon, New Hampshire ($8368 [95% CI, $6076-$10 659]); Meridian, Mississippi ($9408 [95% CI, $7333-$11 484]); and Bismarck, North Dakota ($9541 [95% CI, $6382-$12 700]). The hospital referral regions with the highest mean spending on the amputation procedure itself were Paterson, New Jersey ($22 725 [95% CI, $12 859-$32 590]); Rapid City, South Dakota ($25 448 [95% CI, $3605-$47 292]); and Salinas, California ($30 039 [95% CI, $12 195-$47 884]). - Source : Jama Network
