From head to toe

Now conducting research into podiatry assessment methods, Dr Peta Tehan started her career at, quite literally, the opposite end.

“I actually started university enrolled in psychology!"

“But one of my housemates was always talking about her experiences with her degree in podiatry and it sounded really interesting.”

Hands-on health care

Peta knew that she wanted to work in health care, and she liked that a podiatry degree would give her a direct route into the clinic. She made the switch and got her first job in a regional practise straight out of uni.

“We were the only clinic in town so we saw just about everything. It was a really great experience.”

Later on in her career, Peta started working at the High Risk Foot Clinic at the John Hunter Hospital.

“We were looking after people who were impending amputation – that was a huge eye opener. People would come in with these gaping wounds in their feet. It’s just so preventable so much of the time.”

When a patient comes into a podiatry clinic, one of the assessments they will undergo is that of blood flow.

“It’s just so important in terms of wound healing."

“So many of our patients had poor blood flow but we didn’t know it or we weren’t screening properly for it, or it was an afterthought."

“Really one of the first things we should be looking at is whether or not they have adequate blood flow. Then if they don’t then we should base our care plan around that.”

While there are a number of tests available to use, current national guidelines still only recommend using the most basic; palpate a pulse.

“If you can’t do that, then the patient is often sent for Duplex ultra-sound testing to check for blood flow."

“That costs Medicare over $300, and a lot of clinics just don’t have the resources as it’s such a specialist method."

“There are alternate methods … but when I was using those, I just kept seeing them fail."

“I could tell by my clinical judgement that the feet were ischemic (deprived of blood) - but the tests were coming back normal.”

A frustration-fueled research project

When Peta got involved with UON’s Podiatry Teaching Clinic, she met an important mentor in Associate Professor Viv Chuter.

“I remember telling her about a wound care course I did and she got so excited at the idea that I was interested in doing more study."

“Then I started talking about how frustrating all the blood flow tests were, how we couldn’t solve this fundamental problem."

“She told me, ‘Well Peta, there’s only one way to find out more!’ So I enrolled in a PhD and she became my supervisor.”

Peta compared three different methods of testing blood circulation to the gold standard: the duplex ultra-sound. She compared the accuracy to these methods across two key cohorts: diabetic vs non-diabetic.

“I saw that all three tests were less accurate in the diabetes patients."

“It just goes to show that this population which podiatrists deal with all the time is very difficult to assess, and that they have very specific problems with their condition which affects how we determine blood flow."

“As podiatrists, we need a test which is quick and easy, but we can’t do just one test alone. We need to do a combination of tests if we want to get an accurate result.”

Co mbining research, teaching and clinical practise

Throughout her studies, Peta maintained her clinical practise, and still tries to fit in at least one day a week in the clinic.

“It can be very difficult to do but it’s so important.”

Peta also mentors her own set of students, through UON’s unique Podiatry Teaching Clinic, which was established by Professor Viv Chuter, Nicole Martin and Peta herself.

Podiatry students are obliged to do 1000 hours of practical experience throughout their undergrad degree, but it can be stressful and expensive finding long term placements.

Through the teaching clinic, students can get up to 600 hours’ worth of their required experience, and they are providing a direct service for the community. They’re also freeing up local podiatrists’ time to work in specialist clinics, where they are needed the most.

“The students do everything. They get the patient, bring them in, take their history, do the treatment and take the notes. They then present the patient to me so I can oversee everything."

“A good day is a day when I don’t have to put gloves on!”

Career Summary

Biography

Peta is a registered podiatrist who has worked in a variety of areas within podiatric practice for over ten years, including private practice in both rural and regional areas, and public practice in a High Risk Foot Clinic. This gives her the real world experience that students appreciate in their clinical education, and furthermore drives her passion for clinically translatable research outcomes.

Peta has post graduate qualifications in wound care from Monash University and frequently lectures to Wounds Australia and the local Hunter Wound Interest Group. Peta has been invited to edit the latest edition of the Therapeutic Guidelines on "Wound Care" - the high risk foot chapter. Peta's passion for wound care education was recognised by a Faculty of Health and Medicine community engagement award in 2016. 

Her PhD (awarded August 2016) focused on podiatrists role in vascular assessment of the lower limb and assessing the validity of non invasive vascular assessment techniques in Diabetes. Peta also developed a novel vascular screening pathway for community based patients. Peta's post doctoral research is building upon her thesis, continuing to develop the evidence base for non-invasive vascular assessment in the lower limb in different, vulnerable populations. Furthermore, she recently completed a six month international post-doctoral fellowship with Professor Keith Rome at Auckland University of Technology which was focused on retail footwear use in women with rheumatoid arthritis.

Research Expertise
Peta is currently undertaking research investigating early and accurate identification of the presence of arterial disease in people with diabetes, assessing factors contributing to wound chronicity in people with diabetic foot ulceration including dietary intake, and is also completing research examining clinically detectable vascular disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. These projects have attracted both internal and external competitive funding.

Peta was awarded "Best New Investigator" at the New Zealand Podiatry Conference in 2012, and best oral abstract at the Australian Diabetes Association Annual Meeting (2015 - co-author).

Teaching Expertise
Peta has a graduate certificate in the practice of tertiary teaching and is passionate about teaching podiatry students valuable clinical skills. Peta currently is the course coordinator for PDTY2205: Diabetes and Wound Management, and PDTY3101: Advanced Adult and Paediatric Foot Management

Peta has contributed to the podiatry program significantly over the years, and played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Newcastle student-led podiatry teaching clinic, within the Newcastle Community Health Centre.

Collaborations
Peta has collaborated with prominent local vascular surgeons, Dr Alan Bray, AO and Dr Matthew Sebastian for her project investigating the validity of non-invasive vascular testing methods in detecting peripheral arterial disease in people with diabetes.

Peta has also previously collaborated with Queen Margaret University's (UK) Dr Derek Santos and is currently collaborating with Professor Keith Rome from Auckland University of Technology (NZ), Professor Nicola Dalbeth from the University of Auckland and also with Mr Martin Fox, a vascular specialist podiatrist based in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a common, costly, yet largely preventable complication impacting patients in healthcare settings globally. Improving routine cleaning and disinfection of the hospital environment has been shown to reduce the risk of HAI. Contaminated shared medical equipment presents a primary transmission route for infectious pathogens, yet is rarely studied. The CLEEN study will assess how enhanced cleaning and disinfection of shared medical equipment affects the rate of HAIs in a tertiary hospital setting. The initiative is an evidence-based approach combining staff training, auditing and feedback to environmental services staff to enhance cleaning and disinfection practices. Methods: The CLEEN study will use a stepped wedge randomised controlled design in 10 wards of one large Australian hospital over 36¿weeks. The intervention will consist of 3 additional hours per weekday for the dedicated cleaning and disinfection of shared medical equipment on each ward. The primary outcome is to demonstrate the effectiveness of improving the quality and frequency of cleaning shared medical equipment in reducing HAIs, as measured by a HAI point prevalence study (PPS). The secondary outcomes include the thoroughness of equipment cleaning assessed using fluorescent marker technology and the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Discussion: Evidence from the CLEEN study will contribute to future policy and practice guidelines about the cleaning and disinfection of shared medical equipment. It will be used by healthcare leaders and clinicians to inform decision-making and implementation of best-practice infection prevention strategies to reduce HAIs in healthcare facilities.

Background: Adequate nutrition is essential in individuals with diabetic foot ulceration (DFU); therefore, an assessment of dietary intake is critical. A lack of nutrients including protein, zinc and vitamins C and D have all been associated with poor wound healing. However, the comprehensive dietary intake of Australian adults with DFU is poorly understood. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe the dietary intake of adults with DFU in an Australian setting. Methods: Participants (n = 115) with diabetes (type 1 and 2), a mean body mass index of 36 and current foot ulceration were recruited from across New South Wales, Australia. Dietary intake was assessed using the Australian Eating Survey, a self-reported validated food frequency questionnaire. Results: The mean (SD) reported energy intake was 9.57 (±SD 4.43) MJ¿day¿1. A mean protein intake of 104 (±SD 49) g¿day¿1 is below recommended intake for wound healing; however, the mean protein intake contribution to energy (19%E) was within recommendations for normal populations. The mean carbohydrate intake (43%E) was within recommended ranges for healthy populations; however, the mean total fat intake (36%E) was above recommendations. Micronutrient intake was adequate, apart from folate, which was below the recommended intake, and sodium, vitamin C, vitamin A and selenium, which were above the recommended intake. Conclusions: A lack of adequate folate may have a negative impact on healing, with folate proposed to play a role in tissue repair. Wound management of individuals with DFU should include a regular assessment of dietary intake to recognise deficiencies in macro- and micronutrients, and subsequently address these inadequacies to optimise healing.

The association between the prevalence and geographical distribution of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with diabetes in the context of socioeconomic deprivation is not well understood. We undertook a retrospective cohort study of 76,307 people with diabetes admitted as a hospital inpatient in a large Scottish health administrative area. Utilising linked health records, we identified diagnoses of PAD and/or CLTI and their distribution using small area cartography techniques according to multiple deprivation maps. Spatial autocorrelation techniques were applied to examine PAD and CLTI patterning. Association between crude inpatient prevalence-adjusted outcome rates and exposure to social deprivation were determined. We found crude prevalence-adjusted rates of 8.05% for PAD and 1.10% for CLTI with a five- to sevenfold difference from the least to most deprived regions. Statistically significant hot spots were found for PAD (p < 0.001) and CLTI (p < 0.001) in the most deprived areas, and cold spots for PAD (p < 0.001) but not CLTI (p = 0.72) in the least deprived areas. Major health disparities in PAD/CLTI diagnoses in people with diabetes is driven by socioeconomic deprivation.

The postexercise ankle¿brachial index (ABI) is recommended in patients with normal resting ABI when peripheral artery disease (PAD) is suspected. The aims of this study were to determine the comparative diagnostic accuracy of the resting and postexercise ABI for detecting PAD, and, the effect of the presence of diabetes on these. Three methods of interpretation currently in use were also investigated: a reduction in postexercise ABI by >20% compared to resting ABI, an ABI value of =0.90 postexercise, or a reduction in systolic ankle pressure of >30 mmHg postexercise. This retrospective study used colour duplex ultrasound (CDU) as the reference standard. In 278 limbs (whole group), the resting ABI had an overall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.71, with the postexercise ABI yielding a similar diagnostic accuracy of AUC 0.72. In the non-diabetes group (n=171), the resting ABI had an overall AUC of 0.74 and the postexercise ABI had a similar AUC of 0.76. In the diabetes group (n=107), overall accuracy was reduced compared to the non-diabetes group, with the resting ABI having an overall AUC of 0.65 and the postexercise ABI yielding a similar accuracy with an AUC of 0.64. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the postexercise ABI for diagnosing PAD was not greatly improved compared to resting ABI. Given the lower overall diagnostic accuracy in the diabetes group, both the resting and the postexercise ABI results in diabetes populations should be interpreted with caution. There is a risk of undiagnosed disease if relying on these results alone to determine lower limb vascular status.

The toe-brachial index (TBI) is used as an adjunct to the ankle-brachial index (ABI) for non-invasive lower limb vascular screening. With increasing evidence suggesting limitations of the ABI for diagnosis of vascular complications, particularly in specific populations including diabetes cohorts, the TBI is being used more widely. The aim of this review was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the TBI for detecting peripheral artery disease (PAD) in populations at risk of this disease. A database search was conducted to identify current work relating to the sensitivity and specificity of toe-brachial indices up to July 2015. Only studies using valid diagnostic imaging as a reference standard were included. The QUADAS-2 tool was used to critically appraise included articles. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Sensitivity of the TBI for PAD was reported in all seven studies and ranged from 45% to 100%; specificity was reported by five studies only and ranged from 16% to 100%. In conclusion, this review suggests that the TBI has variable diagnostic accuracy for the presence of PAD in specific populations at risk of developing the disease. There was a notable lack of large-scale diagnostic accuracy studies determining the diagnostic accuracy of the TBI in detecting PAD in different at-risk cohorts. However, standardised normal values need to be established for the TBI to conclusively determine the diagnostic accuracy of this test.
