2372. Multidisciplinary Care Teams to Reduce Major Amputations for Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Systematic Review

摘要

BackgroundApproximately 2 million Americans develop a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) annually; >50% die and 5% lose a limb within 5 years. IDSA guidelines recommend multidisciplinary team care for these patients (moderate evidence). Little is known about who should compose the team or how the team should function (low evidence). We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines to evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary team care on major amputation in patients with DFU’s and describe team composition and function.
