By Mauro Maurantonio, Lorenzo Rubrigi, Claudia Castellano and 3 others.
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is a serious complication of diabetes that poses a high risk of morbidity/mortality. The management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary team approach, as these patients are “complex” and “fragile”. Despite this, the rate of re-amputation remains high. This study aims to evaluate the degree of multidimensional complexity in patients with DFS using specific tools and to determine if it is an additional risk factor for amputation.
