Abstract
Aims
Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is a complex disease of the bone and joints that can lead to serious and life-threatening complications. This study investigates epidemiologic trends in diabetic CN in Texas and the impact of age on these values.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted using the Texas Department of State Health Services Hospital Discharge Data Public Use Data File. Using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth (ICD-9) and Tenth (ICD-10) Revision codes, we identified patients with diabetes and Charcot ankle or foot. Data extracted included diagnoses, race, and gender. Population rates were estimated using census data, calculated per 1000 population and standardized by age.
Results
Overall and age-standardized rates of CN increased each year from 2006 to 2016, except for a downward trend from 2014 to 2016. Poisson regression revealed significant increases in the incidence rate ratio compared to 2006 for each year from 2008 to 2016. When age group is included, all years except 2007 show a significant increase relative to 2006, and all age groups have increased rates relative to ages 18–44. Major and minor amputations in patients with CN have increased.
Conclusions
The increasing rates of CN and amputations highlight the need for further research and standardized strategies for diagnosis and management.

The journal publishes original research articles and high quality reviews in the fields of clinical care, diabetes education, nutrition, health services, psychosocial research and epidemiology and other areas as far as is relevant for diabetology in a primary-care setting. The purpose of the journal is to encourage interdisciplinary research and discussion between all those who are involved in primary diabetes care on an international level. The Journal also publishes news and articles concerning the policies and activities of Primary Care Diabetes Europe and reflects the society''s aim of improving the care for people with diabetes mellitus within the primary-care setting.
