“…Those with osteomyelitis in the OF group ( n = 53) were younger (53.3 vs. 57, p = 0.02), had higher prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (41.5% vs. 24.1%), past-amputation (28.3% vs. 11.1%), higher SINBAD scores, and were also less likely to change occupational-footwear at < = 6-month-interval (22.6% vs. 55.6%) than those without osteomyelitis (p < 0.05 for all). Increasing age, history of past amputation, CRP and reduced frequency of changing the OF were significant positive risk factors for osteomyelitis. …”
