Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by inherited and or acquired deficiency
inproduction of insulin by the pancreas, or by the ineffectiveness of the insulin produced.
Such a deficiency result in increased concetrations of glucosa in the blood, which in
turn damage blood vessel. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a complication of
diabetes that happens when blood vessels in the legs become blocked or narrowed
due to fat deposits. Diabetic patient with PAD have a high risk to get diabetic wound
caused high concetrations of blood. Simple test used to document PAD is measure
of the ankle brachial index (ABI). ABI compares the systolic blood pressures of the
ankle or legs with brachial or arms to give a ratio that can suggest various severity of
PAD. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the ABI and diabetes
type 2 patient’s wound risk of type 2 in Santa Maria Hospital Pekanbaru. These study
was quantitative research with cross sectional approach with 55 respondents. The
study was conducted in April 15 to May 20 2018. The study measured the ABI and
anamnese signs and symptoms of PAD. The results of this study showed that there was
a relationship between the ABI and wound risk in diabetic type 2 patient in Santa Maria
Hospital Pekanbaru (p= 0,000). This study recommended healthcare service do the
ABI measurement for diabetes patients to early detection PAD and prevent the diabetic
wound.
