    Abstract

    Diabetic foot ulcer is a serious complication that often arises in patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly among the elderly population. Studies suggest that around 15% of diabetic patients will experience this condition during their lifetime. AIM This study aimed to compare the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) dressing versus moist saline/povidone iodine dressing in diabetic patients with foot ulcers. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 72 patients were enrolled in an open-label prospective randomised study. The primary objective was to compare the mean reduction in ulcer area at the end of 4 weeks. The study included two groups of patients: Group 1 (Study Group) received PRP clot dressing, while Group 2 (Control Group) received conventional saline dressing. The dressings were left in place for 1 week, and a total of 4 PRP treatments at weekly intervals were given for 4 weeks.
