Table 3. DFU incidence and effect of the intervention by a priori defined sub-groups.

DFU incidence Effect estimate *
Control arm Intervention arm
n/N (%) n/N (%) HR (95% CI)
Among those who had a caregiver
      Crude 6/31 (19.4) 7/31 (22.6) 1.11 (0.37 – 3.32)
      Adjusted by site and previous foot ulceration 0.43 (0.13 – 1.48)
Among those who did not had a caregiver
      Crude 3/48 (6.3) 12/48 (25.0) 4.13 (1.16 – 14.63)
      Adjusted by site and previous foot ulceration 3.34 (0.94 – 11.92)

* HRs were calculated among the 169 participants that had at least one follow-up evaluation during the 18-month study period. All effect estimates were calculated using the thermometry-only arm as the reference group

DFU, diabetic foot ulcer; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.
