Predictors of Lower-Extremity Amputation in Patients With an Infected Diabetic Foot Ulcer.
(2015) In Diabetes Care 38(5). p.852-857- Abstract
- Infection commonly complicates diabetic foot ulcers and is associated with a poor outcome. In a cohort of individuals with an infected diabetic foot ulcer, we aimed to determine independent predictors of lower-extremity amputation and the predictive value for amputation of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) classification system and to develop a risk score for predicting amputation.
