Abstract
Aims/hypothesis
Charcot foot is a complication of diabetes mellitus that has potentially disastrous consequences. Although it was first described in 1868 and found to be associated with diabetes in 1936, there is still uncertainty about the risk factors affecting the development of the condition. Here, we aim to identify risk factors for Charcot foot in a nationwide cohort study.
Methods
A retrospective register-based cohort study was performed for the period 2001–2016, using nationwide registries. Individuals with diabetes and Charcot foot were identified and matched by diabetes type and with similar diabetes duration with individuals with diabetes but not Charcot foot. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors.
Results
A total of 3397 participants with diabetes mellitus and Charcot foot and 27,662 control participants with diabetes but without Charcot foot were included. HbA1c, duration of diabetes, micro- and macroalbuminuria, retinopathy and atherosclerosis (general and peripheral) were identified as risk factors for Charcot foot in participants with type 1 diabetes and participants with type 2 diabetes.
Conclusions/interpretation
In the most extensive study on Charcot foot to date, we identified distinctive and common risk factors associated with the development of Charcot foot in individuals with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
