IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE COURSE OF DIABETIC FOOT SYNDROME

Abstract

It is known that diabetes mellitus (DM) complicates the course of many diseases, since it affects almost all systems of the human body. As the practice of 2020 has shown, this phenomenon also applies to infectious diseases. The work analyzes the clinical and laboratory values and results of treatment of patients with purulent-necrotic complications of DFS. All of these patients had a his- tory of COVID-19 in 2020. In the majority of patients with purulent-necrotic complications of DFS, treatment ended with amputation of the hip. A mathematical model was developed, which was the basis of the software module - a program for predicting the likelihood of limb amputation in ulcera- tive-necrotic lesions of DFS. Due to the careful selection of the main parameters of the state of blood circulation in the limb and the degree of generalization of the purulent-necrotic process, this program allows, in the conditions of a non-specialized multidisciplinary medical institution, to predict the likelihood of limb amputation.
