Correlation Analysis of Nutritional Status of Diabetic Foot Patients with Different Wagner Grades

ConclusionsThe nutritional status of patients with Wagner grading 3  ~ 5 is significantly worse than that of patients with Wagner grading 1–2. Age, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, WBC, Hb, albumin, and prealbumin have important effects on the development and prognosis of foot ulcers in patients with DF. Healthcare workers should give targeted interventions and ap propriate nutritional support through the screening and comprehensive consideration of relevant factors at an early stage in clinical practice in order to improve the general condition of patients, accelerate the purpose of ulcer healing, and thus improve the quality of life of patients.
