Study summary

D-FAR is to gather robust data on the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with diabetic foot complications to enhance understanding, reduce complications, and improve patient care. This will include insights into the prevalence of risk factors, adherence to treatment protocols, and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of amputations and other adverse outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Among the various complications, those related to diabetic foot disease are associated with the highest morbidity and mortality. Diabetic foot problems are characterized by infection, ulceration and/or destruction of deep tissue in the foot and are usually associated with neurological abnormalities and varying degrees of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the lower limb. the purpose of collect comprehensive data on the clinical features, management strategies, and outcomes of patients with diabetic foot complications.

Study population

African population

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Male and female patients
  2. Residents of participating African countries.
  3. Diagnosed with diabetic foot complications (e.g., ulcers, gangrene, infection, ischemia).
  4. Patients with a history of foot ulcers or amputations due to diabetes.
  5. High-risk patients with peripheral neuropathy and/or peripheral arterial disease.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Non-diabetic foot complications.
  2. Acute traumatic injuries unrelated to diabetes.
  3. Patients unwilling to provide .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Subjects Achieving Complete Wound Healing

    Percentage of patients with diabetic foot ulcers who achieve complete wound closure without discharge or infection as recorded during follow-up visits. Defined as complete epithelialization of the diabetic foot ulcer with no discharge or infection as assessed during clinical follow-up.

    Time frame: Assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months post-enrollment

  2. Proportion of Subjects Undergoing Amputation Due to Diabetic Foot Ulcer

    Number of subjects requiring surgical amputation (minor or major) of the affected foot during the follow-up period

    Time frame: Up to 12 months from enrollment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time Taken for Diabetic Foot Ulcer to Heal

    Duration (in days) from initial presentation to confirmed complete healing of the ulcer.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months from enrollment

  2. Change in SINBAD Score Over Time

    SINBAD scores will be measured at baseline and during follow-up to assess changes in wound severity. SINBAD is an acronym based on six parameters (Site, Ischemia, Neuropathy, Bacterial infection, Area, and Depth) Scale Range: 0 to 6 Directionality: Higher scores indicate worse outcomes (i.e., more severe diabetic foot ulcer characteristics and higher risk of complications such as non-healing, infection, amputation, or death). Interpretation: 0-1: Mild ulcer, lower risk 2-3: Moderate ulcer, intermediate risk 4-6: Severe ulcer, high risk

    Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

  3. All-Cause Mortality Among Subjects with Diabetic Foot Ulcers

    Number and percentage of subjects who expire during the study period, regardless of cause.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months from enrollment

  4. Proportion of Subjects with Peripheral Neuropathy and Peripheral Arterial Disease

    Presence of peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers based on clinical exam.Can be determined by clinical signs such as loss of protective sensation, absence of pedal pulses, decrease vascularity

    Time frame: At baseline
