Abstract EN
Objectives.
To investigate insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) levels in response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for diabetic foot ulcers and to determine whether IGF-1 is a predictive indicator of wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
Design and Methods.
We treated 48 consecutive patients with diabetic foot ulcers with HBOT.
Alterations of IGF-1 levels in patients whose wound healed with HBOT were compared with those in patients who did not benefit from HBOT.
Results.
There was no significant difference in initial IGF-1 levels between the two groups (P=0.399).
The mean IGF-1 level increased with HBOT (P<0.05).
In the healed group, the mean IGF-1 increase and the final values were significantly higher (P<0.05).
In the nonhealed group, the mean IGF-1 increase was minus and the final values were not significantly different (P<0.05).
The increase in IGF-1 level with HBOT was significantly higher in the healed group (P<0.001).
Conclusions.
IGF-1 increased significantly in the healed group.
We believe that HBOT is effective in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, with an elevation of IGF-1.
This alteration seems to be a predictive factor for wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers treated with HBOT.
