Mortality was determined during a 5-year follow-up period. Patients with Charcot arthropathy were matched to individuals in the other two groups using propensity score matching based on patient age, sex, race, marital status, diabetes duration, and diabetes control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During follow-up, 28.0% of the sample died; 18.8% with diabetes alone and 37.0% with foot ulcer died compared with 28.3% with Charcot arthropathy. Multivariable Cox regression shows that, compared with Charcot arthropathy, foot ulcer was associated with 35% higher mortality risk (hazard ratio 1.35 [95% CI 1.18\u20131.54]) and diabetes alone with 23% lower risk (0.77 [0.66\u20130.90]). Of the patients with Charcot arthropathy, 63% experienced foot ulceration before or after the onset of the Charcot arthropathy. Stratified analyses suggest that Charcot arthropathy is associated with a significantly increased mortality risk independent of foot ulcer and other comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Charcot arthropathy was significantly associated with higher mortality risk than diabetes alone and with lower risk than foot ulcer. Patients with foot ulcers tended to have a higher prevalence of peripheral vascular disease and macrovascular diseases than patients with Charcot arthropathy. This finding may explain the difference in mortality risks between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2337\/dc08-1695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,2,6]],"date-time":"2009-02-06T23:46:30Z","timestamp":1233963990000},"page":"816-821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":164,"title":["Mortality Risk of Charcot Arthropathy Compared With That of Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Diabetes Alone"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Min-Woong","family":"Sohn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Management of Complex Chronic Care, Hines VA Hospital, Hines, Illinois;"},{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Studies, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Todd A.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Management of Complex Chronic Care, Hines VA Hospital, Hines, Illinois;"},{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Studies, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodney M.","family":"Stuck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Service, Hines VA Hospital, Hines, Illinois;"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, Illinois;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert G.","family":"Frykberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Service, Podiatry Division, Carl T.
