Abstract:

Objective: At this work we estimated the cost of the hospital on diabetic foot treatment, and we overhaul the literature regarding prophylaxis of these wounds. Methods: For these we reviewed the manuals of all of the patients with diabetic foot submitted to surgical treatment in a period of 16 months in a public hospital. Results:There were 44 admissions with average duration of 11.93 days, (± 6,34), 61 surgical procedures, with amputations in 65% of the cases. We found a medium cost of R$4367,05 (± 9249.01) and a total cost of R$192150,40 for these hospital treatments. Conclusion: The handling of the diabetic foot had a high cost and required amputations in most of the cases. The literature revision showed up many possible models to be adopted for act in the prophylaxis of wounds associated to the diabetic foot, which can avoid amputations and save resources.
