title: Impact of perioperative glycaemia and glycated haemoglobin on the outcomes of the surgical treatment of diabetic foot osteomyelitis.
abstract: Perioperative glycaemic control during admission was a predictive factor of amputation in a prospective cohort of 81 patients with diabetes who underwent surgical treatment for osteomyelitis. Glycaemic control before admission, as determined by glycosylated haemoglobin, did not have any influence on the outcomes.
