Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. The most common macrovascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus are coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, renal disease, and peripheral vascular disease. The aim of the study is to detect prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in patients with diabetic foot. Single institution based observational study done at Department of General Surgery, GMC Ongole during the period from January, 2021 to December, 2021 on 95 cases. The mean average age was 52.0+7.2 years and male to female ratio was 3.75:1. The commonest clinical presentation was ulcers followed by gangrene and Cellulitis. Prevalence of PVD in patients with diabetic foot was 47.3%. Advanced age and poorly controlled diabetes increase the risk of PVD. Significant association of Major amputation with Severity of PVD and Wagner’s grading was observed, indicating a positive association between amputation and severity of PVD. Lower Wagner’s Grading was associated with lower chances of major amputation.
