Long-Term Effect of a Structured Educational Program on Diabetic Foot on Major Adverse Limb and Cardiovascular Events in People with Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: To evaluate the long-term impact of a structured diabetic foot education program on major adverse limb events (MALEs) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Retrospective cohort study including 327 adults with type 1 diabetes who participated in a structured diabetic foot education program between 1990 and 2014. The program included 10 h of education focused on diabetes self-management and foot care. Participants were encouraged to attend annual refresher sessions. The primary outcomes were the first occurrence of MALE (major amputation or lower-limb revascularization) and MACE (non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or all-cause death). Cox proportional hazards models were used to asses
