ResumenEl tratamiento de oxigenación hiperbárica (TOHB) acelera los tiempos de cicatrización de los distintos tipos de heridas, entre ellas el pie diabético. Igualmente, favorece la rehabilitación neurológica y redu ce las complicaciones postquirúrgicas. El objetivo de esta revisión narrativa es examinar la bibliografía publicada sobre costo-efectividad del TOHB.
We obtained costs and mortality data in two retrospec tive cohorts totaling 159 patients who have diabetes mellitus and onset of a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Data were collected from 2005 to 2013, with a follow-up period through September 30, 2014. A total of 106 patients entered an evidence-based limb salvage protocol (LSP) for Wagner Grade …
Background: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proposed as an adjunct tostandard methods of care for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Its use may decrease the risk ofinfection and lower extremity amputations (LEAs). As part of a Canadian assessment, weestimated the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of HBOT in this application.Methods: We developed a decision model comparing …
