Abstract:

The objective of this investigation was to determine the prevalence of diabetic foot amputations and analyze associations with factors related to the person and primary care. Cross-sectional epidemiological study. The sample included 214 hospitalized patients with diabetic foot in one of four specialty hospitals with vascular surgery of Pernambuco. Data were collected through semi-structured questionnaire. In the data analysis procedures were applied descriptive statistics, analysis of associations of chi-square andPoisson regression (p <0.05). The prevalence of amputation was 50%. Were associated with its occurrence people-related factors: low education (p=0,027), two or more people living in the household (p=0,046) and income of the patient less than minimum wage (p=0,004). Factors related to primary care: do not have their feet examined (PR = 1.17) and had not received guidance on foot care (PR = 2.24) in the consultations carried out last year, and not using the drug for DM control as prescribed (PR = 1.60) andinadequate glycemic control (PR= 1.83) were associated with amputation. Understanding these factorshelps to identify aspects of preventive care that need improvement.
