| Abstract | Introduction Diabetes foot deformity is among the major causes of diabetic foot ulceration, resulting in lower limb amputation. However, the study on the distribution of foot deformity and its risk factor among diabetic patients in Ethiopia is limited. This study determined the overall prevalence and associated factors of foot deformity among adult diabetic patients on follow-up at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 392 diabetic patients using a systematic random sampling technique at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Data were collected by pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaires and diabetic foot assessment format. Multivariable binary logistic regression was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with their 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to determine the strength of the association, and a variable with a p-value < 0.05 was statistically significant factors of diabetes foot deformity. Result The overall prevalence of foot deformity was 33.4% [95% CI: 28.9–38.3]. In the final logistic regression analysis, rural residency [AOR = 2.64, 95% CI: 1.31, 5.31], poor glycemic control [AOR = 2.41; 95% CI: 1.34, 4.33], diabetes duration ≥ 10 years [AOR = 2.74; 95% CI: 1.50, 5.02], inadequate footwear [AOR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.17, 3.82] and presence of peripheral neuropathy [AOR = 8.21; 95% CI: 4.54, 14.84] were statistically significant associated factors with diabetes foot deformity. Conclusion The prevalence of foot deformity among adult diabetic patients was high. It is recommended to incorporate foot deformity screening in routine diabetic patient follow-ups especially for those with poor glycaemic control, rural residency, long diabetes duration, inadequate footwear, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
