About

This study examines the demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of patients with diabetic foot ulcers admitted to 5 Azar Hospital, Gorgan, in 2024. By analyzing factors such as Hb, WBC, HbA1C, ESR, and CRP in relation to ulcer severity, the study aims to identify predictors of outcomes and support more effective prevention and management strategies

Full description

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most serious and preventable complications in diabetic patients, often leading to infection, hospitalization, lower limb amputation, and increased mortality. This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study aims to investigate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of approximately 200 patients with DFU admitted to 5 Azar Hospital, Gorgan, in 2024. Data will be retrospectively collected from medical records after obtaining ethical approval.

The study will analyze relationships between patient demographics, clinical features, and laboratory findings (including Hb, WBC, HbA1C, ESR, CRP) with ulcer severity based on Wagner's classification. Statistical tests such as independent t-test, chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and multivariable logistic regression will be used.

By identifying key factors associated with ulcer severity and outcomes, the findings of this study may contribute to more effective prevention and management strategies for diabetic foot ulcers, ultimately reducing complications and healthcare costs
