Abstract
In the present study, we aimed to compare lower extremity tissue oxygen saturations in DM patients and healthy individuals. The study involved 22 patients with diabetes mellitus and 20 healthy subjects. StO2 of all participants was measured with near-infrared spectroscopy on the dorsal side of the foot. First, stO2 values between groups were compared, and then the DM group was divided into subgroups for further analysis. Median (IQR: 75th percentile-25th percentile) StO2 levels were 83.6% (84.2-83.0) in the patient group, while this was 81.3% (82.4-80.4) in the control group. In the comparison between groups, the patient group had significantly higher StO2 levels (p
