The other day I saw a statistic that there are about 10 million hospitalizations per year for diabetic foot, and the trend continues to increase each year. Today I will focus on the cost of treatment. The diabetic foot is also a type of chronic trauma, and the current cost of slow trauma is generally high from the diabetes guidelines, and the overall cost of diabetic foot treatment is not low. According to the survey data in 2004, the average number of days of hospitalization for diabetic foot patients was 25 days, and the total cost of each treatment was about 15,000. 2010 multi-center diabetic amputation rate survey illustrated that patients with disease duration greater than 20 years had the longest hospitalization days (42 days) and the highest hospitalization cost ($34,253). As the severity of the disease increased with Wagner classification, the number of hospitalization days did not increase significantly, but the hospitalization cost increased significantly; patients with minor amputations had an average of 3 days less hospitalization time and an average of $10,000 lower hospitalization cost compared with patients with major amputations; patients with secondary or multiple amputations and death not only had significantly longer hospitalization time but also had significantly higher costs. But it must be said that the above statistics are an average, and there are many people who spend more than 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of dollars for patients with severe symptoms; after all, such patients have a long hospital stay and the cost of treatment and care is relatively high. Even then, there may be patients who still die after treatment. In short, there have been many cases of patients giving up treatment, the family’s money is used to see the doctor, there is really no way! Finally, I would also like to tell you that although diabetic foot is serious, it can be avoided with early prevention. To do this requires patients and family members to understand more about diabetic foot, the causes, early symptoms, proper care and treatment, etc. It is possible to reduce the incidence of diabetic foot and reduce the harm to patients and families. Of course, if you are unfortunate enough to have a foot ulcer, do not give up on yourself, after the correct treatment method, on the basis of the overall improvement of the patient’s physical condition, targeted treatment of local wounds, debridement, control of infection, improve circulation, nutrition of the wounds and remove corrosion and muscle, such as the combination of Chinese and Western medicine open treatment, diabetic foot can still be healed quickly.
