Fenofibrate produces a reduction in amputation events in type II diabetics .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effect of fenofibrate on amputation events in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (FIELD study): A prespecified analysis of a randomised controlled trial
Lancet. 2009 May 23;373(9677):1780-89795 patients with type II diabetes were randomized to receive daily treatment with 200 mg of fenofibrate or equivalent placebo treatment. This study examined the effect of a long-term lipid-lowering treatment on occurrence of amputation and reduction of adverse outcomes of the macro- and micro-vasculature. At 5 year follow-up, fenofibrate produced a reduction in non-traumatic amputations observed in type II diabetics.
