Prognostic Value of Toe Pressure Measurements in Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Medial Arterial Calcification
Lower TP values are correlated with nonhealing of a DFU in patients with MAC, but clear absolute differences in healing are only seen between very low (below 30 mm Hg) and high (above 80 mm Hg) measurements. For intermediate TP values, the predictive strength of ulcer healing is weak. This should be of particular importance when grading ischemia in this subgroup of patients in wound classification systems.
