dc.description.abstract | Despite huge medical and technological advances to date for the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of diabetic foot complications, their prevalence is still alarmingly high. Patients’ quality of life may be severely compromised. Patients may fear amputations more than death. An effort to minimize the impact of these complications and to ensure prompt access to care for everyone is still required. Urgent therapeutic measures should become possible when needed. Improved physician training in and management of peripheral arterial disease are also vital. We need to act now before it is too late. This will definitely be one of the greatest challenges for 2023 and the years to come. | en_GB |
