The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale (DFS): a quality of life instrument for use in clinical trials. Abetz, L., Sutton, M., Brady, L., McNulty, P., & Gagnon, D.Keywords: assessment, Czech Republic, diabetic ulceration, HRQoL, life quality, SF-36, Wagner classification, Wound-QoL Use of the Wound-QoL questionnaire proved particularly effective. Conclusion: Although the results of the two models are similar in certain respects, there are also differences, explained by the fact that two different conceptions of measuring quality of life, with different scoring systems, were involved. Whereas, according to the Wound-QoL, the main negative predictors of quality of life are: 1) DM treatment 2) pain intensity 3) size of the wound 4) age and 5) use of crutches.
Results: Of the patients who participated in this study, 68% were men and 32% women, their average age was 65 years, and the length of DM treatment was 19 years, with variations in DM treatment, UADF intensity, etiology, and size and degree of UADF, according to Wagner classification. Based on the values of beta coefficients, we can state that according to the SF-36, the main negative predictors of quality of life are: 1) DM treatment 2) pain intensity 3) age 4) wound etiology and 5) use of wheelchair. The model was realized using the ENTER method. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 167 patients with UADF. The data were acquired using the SF-36 and Wound-QoL questionnaires. Exploratory Regression analysis was used during the study as a descriptive technique.
