incidencia de diabetes mellitus no insulinodependiente asociado a complicaciones vasculares periféricas en pacientes adultos mayores de 30 años del Hospital Dr. Federico Bolaños Moreira, en el período entre enero-abril del 2018.

Abstract

People with diabetes tend to have more frequent skin infections, so there are some infections in different ranges of severity, one of them being diabetic foot. This infection is one of the main ones to be explored by doctors because it is poor in symptoms, which makes it difficult for the patient to know whether to present it or not. Diabetic foot injuries according to Wagner, can go from Grade 0, without injuries, but with the foot at risk, to Grade V, with the presence of extensive gangrene. It can be seen that there is a great relationship in the DM tables associated with peripheral circulatory diseases, where according to the WHO this can go from a Stage 0, only demonstrable after the exploration, to Stage III where necrosis or gangrene occurs, similar to what happens in the diabetic foot [4]. At the Dr. Federico Bolaños Moreira Hospital, in the city of Milagro, the large number of cases with diabetic foot has presented incidents of all kinds, but in this particular case all the causes would be born of the lack of training of medical personnel, which the present study found the prevalence of ICD cases: 10 - E11.5, registered as the same for the diabetic foot, without information on the degree of injuries or the incidences of those same cases. The present project carried out an evaluation to determine the percentages of incidence within the hospital, where effectively the causes were shared among medical personnel, poor diet and poor circulation, as major incidents.
