A Clinical Study to Determine the Relation Between Hemoglobin A1c and Wound Healing in Diabetic Foot Wounds
Abstract: Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant complication of diabetes mellitus. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a marker of long-term glycemic control and may influence wound healing. Objective: To assess the correlation between HbA1c levels and the rate of wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: A prospective observational clinical study was conducted on 100 diabetic patients with foot ulcers. Patients were grouped based on HbA1c levels: Group A (?7.5%) and Group B (>7.5%). Wound healing was assessed over 12 weeks using standardized wound area measurements and healing scores. Results: Group A demonstrated significantly faster wound healing compared to Group B (p
