Diabetic foot ulcers not only have a negative impact on patient mortality, morbidity and quality of life, but also require high resource utilization to achieve complete wound healing. The aim of this evaluation was to compare resource utilization of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and standard moist wound care (SMWC) for diabetic foot wounds after amputation, surgical debridement or wound cleansing.

Enforced national lockdown led to people being unable to access essential services in addition to limiting contact with social support networks. The novel coronavirus, and subsequent condition known as long COVID were not well-understood and clinicians were not supported by existing guidelines or pathways.
