Hemoglobin A1c is a Predictor of Healing Rate In Diabetic Wounds
Lower-extremity wounds are a major complication of diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reflects glycemia over 2-3 months and is the standard measure used to monitor glycemia in diabetic patients, but results from studies have not shown a consistent association of HbA1c with wound healing. We hypothesized that elevated HbA1c would be most associated with poor wound healing. To test this hypothesis,...
متن کاملBacterial load predicts healing rate in neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers.
D espite improved treatment, a significant number of diabetic foot ulcers do not heal and eventually lead to amputation (1–5). The important local factors determining the healing rate of ulcers are pressure at the site of the ulcer, adequacy of blood supply, and infection. It is generally accepted that for optimal healing, infection needs to be treated. However, the definition of infection is a...
متن کاملHemoglobin A1c Levels Predicts Acute Kidney Injury after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Non-Diabetic Patients
INTRODUCTION: Elevated hemoglobin A1c levels in patients with diabetes mellitus have been known as a risk factor for acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the relationship between hemoglobin A1c levels in non-diabetics and acute kidney injury is under debate. We aimed to investigate the association of preoperative hemoglobin A1c levels with acute kidney injury in n...
متن کاملHemoglobin A1c Levels and Mortality in the Diabetic Hemodialysis Population
OBJECTIVE Lowering hemoglobin A(1c) to <7% reduces the risk of microvascular complications of diabetes, but the importance of maintaining this target in diabetes patients with kidney failure is unclear. We evaluated the relationship between A(1c) levels and mortality in an international prospective cohort study of hemodialysis patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Included were 9,201 hemodial...
متن کاملThe Rate of Healing of Wounds
During recent years a number of papers by Carrel and others concerning the rate of healing of wounds have been published. Du Noiy has also applied some mathematical treatment to these observations and constructed some graduation formulae. In the application of these formulae, however, I think that the meaning of the figures has been in some measure obscured and that a different treatment reveal...
