Trends in diabetes‐related foot disease in a tertiary health service in Australia: a 10‐year retrospective study
This large retrospective audit demonstrated an increasing burden of inpatient DM and DFD at Western Health, Victoria in Australia, with greater morbidity and mortality in DFD patients. Health networks need to be prepared for greater health service utilisation required by DFD cohorts, and further funding to prevent DFD is of particular importance to avoid overwhelming health services.
