Evaluating the impact of an interdisciplinary integrated limb preservation service operating concurrently with a single-specialty service.
BACKGROUND
This study examined the efficacy of an interdisciplinary limb preservation service (LPS) in improving surgical outcomes for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients compared to traditional care.
METHODS
Data from January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. An interdisciplinary LPS clinic began on August 1, 2018, coexisting with a preexisting single specialty service. Primary outcomes were major/minor amputation rates and ratios and hospital length of stay. Surgical endpoints pre- and post-LPS launch were compared.
RESULTS
Among 976 procedures for 731 unique DFU patients, most were male (80.4%) and Hispanic (89.3%). Patient demographics were consistent before and after LPS initiation. Major amputation rates decreased by 45.5% (15.4%-8.4%, p = 0.001), with outpatient procedures increasing over 5-fold (3.3% pre-LPS to 18.7% post-LPS, p < 0.001). Hospital stay reduced from 10.1 to 8.5 days post-LPS (p < 0.001). The major to minor amputation ratio declined from 22.4% to 12.7%.
CONCLUSIONS
The interdisciplinary LPS improved patient outcomes, marked by fewer major amputations and reduced hospital stays, suggesting the model's potential for broader application.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, the official journal of the Australian Podiatry Association and The College of Podiatry (UK), is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of policy, organisation, delivery and clinical practice related to the assessment, diagnosis, prevention and management of foot and ankle disorders.
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research covers a wide range of clinical subject areas, including diabetology, paediatrics, sports medicine, gerontology and geriatrics, foot surgery, physical therapy, dermatology, wound management, radiology, biomechanics and bioengineering, orthotics and prosthetics, as well the broad areas of epidemiology, policy, organisation and delivery of services related to foot and ankle care.
The journal encourages submissions from all health professionals who manage lower limb conditions, including podiatrists, nurses, physical therapists and physiotherapists, orthopaedists, manual therapists, medical specialists and general medical practitioners, as well as health service researchers concerned with foot and ankle care.
The Australian Podiatry Association and the College of Podiatry (UK) have reserve funds to cover the article-processing charge for manuscripts submitted by its members. Society members can email the appropriate contact at Australian Podiatry Association or The College of Podiatry to obtain the corresponding code to enter on submission.
