Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aims to investigate the significance of predictors including HbA1c, Lipid, S. Creatinine, Adiponectin, Cat D, HSP70, HSP47, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D and to evaluate the rate of healing of ulcers among the diabetic foot patients. METHODS A retrospective method is used to quantitatively assess the role of HbA1c, Lipid, S. Creatinine, Adiponectin, Cat D, HSP70, HSP47, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D in the healing process of ulcer among diabetic patients. A total of 192 diabetic patients were included, who underwent ulcer healing diagnosis. RESULTS The results have shown a positive and significant correlation between Adiponectin and Cat D with group 2. The findings have shown higher prevalence of Cad D among patients with group 1, HSP70 among patients with group 2, HSP47 among patients with group 2, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D among patients with group 1. CONCLUSION The study concluded that insignificant predictors should be assessed more comprehensively to reveal its efficacy on healing of ulcers with different grades.
