Factors linked to diabetic foot ulcer severity and outcomes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This cross-sectional, retrospective analysis will review medical records of approximately 200 patients admitted with diabetic foot ulcers to 5 Azar Hospital, Gorgan, in 2024. Researchers will extract demographic information, clinical features, and laboratory values (hemoglobin, WBC, HbA1c, ESR, CRP) and grade ulcer severity using Wagner's classification. Statistical comparisons (independent t-test, chi-square, Fisher's exact test) and multivariable logistic regression will be used to identify factors associated with greater ulcer severity and adverse outcomes. Findings aim to highlight predictors that could inform prevention and management strategies for diabetic foot ulcers.
