Ischemic pain and ulceration in patients with diabetes

The graphs show the incidence of IRP and risk of IU in a cohort of 1244 men with diabetes and intermittent claudication. The risks for IRP or IU were significantly higher compared with men without diabetes for every level of reduction in ankle perfusion pressure. The cumulative 10-year risks of developing IRP or IU were 30 and 23%, respectively.

DM: diabetes mellitus; IRP: ischemic rest pain; ABI: ankle–brachial index; IU: ischemic ulceration.
