The Diabetic Foot-Pain-Depression Cycle: Results from a Clinical Cohort #Depression #DiabeticFoot #Pain #ActAgainstAmputation #Diabetes

This is a study from our combined Dartmouth, Keck/USC, SMU team led by Brandon Brooks. Abstract Background: More than 86,000 Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergo nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations annually. The opioid-prescribing practice of podiatric surgeons remains understudied. We hypothesized that patients with T2DM who undergo any forefoot amputation while using antidepressant medication will have... Continue Reading →
