Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers are a major cause of approximately 85% of amputations in non-trauma patients. One of the contributing factors is the presence of extensive gangrenous infections. Effective management of diabetic foot infections to prevent amputation requires knowledge of various factors such as ulcer location, depth, neuropathy, vasculopathy, infection, and the presence of infection, which can be identified through inflammatory markers. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the correlation between leukocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum lactate levels with the incidence of amputation in DFU patients. All DFU patients admitted to Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from January 1 to December 31, 2023, who met the inclusion criteria were included using purposive sampling. A total of 47 patients with diabetic foot ulcers were included in this study. The mean, median, and range of leukocytes were 18,532, 16,015, and 55,184, respectively, with higher values observed in amputation cases. NLR values were also higher in amputation cases, with a mean of 9.54, median of 6.00, and range of 47.32. Similarly, CRP levels were elevated in amputation cases, with a mean of 9.56, median of 6.75, and range of 26.16. There is a significant correlation between leukocytes, NLR, CRP, and serum lactate with the incidence of amputation in diabetic foot ulcer patients.

Abstract

Hemodialysis patients are at risk of preventable adverse outcomes as a result of the ongoing medical treatments required throughout their life. Minimizing risk is crucial for ensuring patient safety in healthcare environments. Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) is a proactive risk assessment method designed to identify potential failures in healthcare processes and improve the quality and safety of patient care. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to identify potential failure modes in hemodialysis services in Nitipuran Hemodialysis Clinic by implementing HFMEA. A multidisciplinary team was involved as the unit of analysis to identify processes and subprocesses for in-center hemodialysis treatment. The study employed purposive sampling, selecting 10 team members who were directly involved in providing hemodialysis services. Data collected were analyzed using the HFMEA worksheet. OverĀ five weeks, the team convened six times to identify Failure Modes (FMs) and Failure Mode Causes (FMCs), conduct a Hazard Analysis, and determine necessary actions to address the FMCs. Five processes, 23 subprocesses, 74 Failure Modes (FMs), 39 Failure Mode Causes (FMCs) were identified. Based on the Hazard Analysis results, 27 FMCs required corrective actions and thirteen actions were proposed to address the FMCs and improve patient safety based on the findings of this study. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of these corrective actions in improving patient safety.
