Social Determinants of Diabetes-Related Foot Ulcer Healing and Amputation in Australia: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
J Foot Ankle ResABSTRACT Introduction In Australia, approximately 50,000 people suffer from diabetes‐related foot ulcers (DFU) with another 300,000 people at risk each year. Evidence suggests that social determinants of health may impact DFU outcomes; however, systematic evaluation of studies is lacking.
