Incidence of the first diabetic foot ulcer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Andreza Oliveira-Cortez et al
Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2023 Feb 24

Aim: Investigate the incidence of the first diabetic foot ulcer.

Method: This is a systematic review with meta-analysis of cohort studies following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and using RevMan software. A systematic search of Medline databases via PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, Scopus databases, and Web of Science was performed until July 2021. In addition to investigating the incidence of the first diabetic foot ulcer, the influence of the variables of the Human Development Index (HDI), glycated hemoglobin, and follow-up time of the participants on the incidence of the first diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) was analyzed through meta-regression. For the meta-analysis of cumulative incidence and possible variable associations, RevMan software was used in the Metaprop data package with 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: A total of 9,772 articles were identified out of which 87 were selected and 12 studies ultimately included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The meta-analysis of cumulative incidence was 5.65% (95% CI: 4.20; 7.57). By meta-regression, a significant inverse association was identified between DFU incidence and HDI (estimate -2.38; 95% CI -4.10--0.67; p = 0.01).

Conclusion: The study presents the cumulative incidence for the first DFU, an inexistent datum in the national and international literature, and the HDI was inversely associated with the incidence of DFU.
