摘要：

In a prospective study, peripheral pulses, claudication, peripheral oedema, and rest pain were evaluated in 314 sequentially presenting diabetic patients with foot ulcers. In the ulcerated limb pedal pulses were found to be present in 44% of the patients, peripheral oedema in 38%, and rest pain in 19%. Twelve per cent had claudication. Presence of pedal pulses was more common in patients whose ulcers underwent primary healing (56%) than in those who healed after amputation (23%) or died (25%, p < 0.001). Eighty per cent of the patients with pedal pulses present underwent primary healing. However, 49% of patients with absence of pedal pulses also underwent primary healing and 12 patients developed gangrene despite presence of pedal pulses. Peripheral oedema was more common in patients who required amputation (58%) or died (55%) than in patients with primary healing (26%, p < 0.001). A tentative predisposing factor was identified in 95% of the patients, the most common factors being neuropathy, congestive heart failure, and previous deep venous thrombosis. Rest pain was more common in patients who required amputation (48%) or died (23%) than in those with primary healing (7%; p < 0.001). Only 50% of patients with gangrene had rest pain and of these patients, only one underwent primary healing. The presence of pedal pulses, oedema, and rest pain give valuable but imperfect information on the possible primary healing of foot ulcers in diabetic patients. 1990 Diabetes UK
