There is a dearth of long-term data regarding patient and limb survival in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The purpose our study was therefore to prospectively investigate the person DFU during follow-up period more than 10 years.Two hundred forty-seven DFUs without previous major amputation consecutively presenting single diabetes center between June 1998 December 1999 were included this followed up until May 2011. Mean age 68.8 ± 10.9 years, 58.7% male, 55.5% had peripheral...

ABSTRACT The study aimed to estimate excess mortality in patients aged 60 years or older up 1 year after pelvic fracture compared with a population without fracture. In this retrospective population-based observational study, we use routine data from large health insurance Germany. For each patient first between 2008 and 2010 (n = 5685 cases, 82% female, mean age 80 ± 9 years), about 34 individuals 193,159 controls) were frequency matched by sex, at index date, month.
