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.
