Association of Demographic Characteristics and Laboratory Values in Diabetic Foot Infections Leading to Lower-Extremity Amputation

CONCLUSIONS: An admission WBC count may be used as a predictor of lower-extremity amputation level and outcomes in diabetic infections. Although a statistically significant difference was not found for CRP or HbA1c levels between amputation procedures and number of procedures performed, these values remain useful in managing lower-extremity infections in diabetic patients.PMID:38446563 | DOI:10.7547/21-187
