Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nurses from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. Its objectives are to promote the dissemination of knowledge, promote the development of evidence in care and contribute to the integration of research in clinical practice. These objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Reviews, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes two kinds of articles: comments about original articles of special interest written by experts, and evidence synthesis articles based on bibliographic reviews.

The journal is included in National Library of Medicine/Pubmed/Medline, Scopus/SCImago Journal Rank(SJR), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) (Clarivate Analytics), CINHAL, Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, EBSCO Publishing, Biblioteca Nacional de Ciencias de la Salud, CSIC/IME, IBECS, Latindex, CUIDEN, Dialnet, Google Scholar Metrics.

Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the risk of DFUs using infrared thermography based on the mobile phone as an advanced risk assessment tool in the community setting.

Method

A multisite cross-sectional study design involving one hundred DM patients in ten health centers in the city of Makassar. Temperature measurement in both feet is done using infrared thermography based on mobile phones in four zones of foot, namely Medial Plantar Artery (MPA), Lateral Plantar Artery (LPA), Medial Calcaneal Artery (MCA) and Lateral Calcaneal Artery (LCA).

Results

The average foot temperature difference was 0.2–1.0°C between the risk groups in the International Working Group of Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) category (p=0.018). The risk zone for DFUs is MPA at risk 0 vs risk 1 (p=0.025), LPA (p=0.020) and MCA (p=0.017) at risk 1 vs risk 2B.

Conclusion

Thermography infrared based on the mobile phone can detect early differences in foot temperature within the risk groups.
