Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to identify the occurrence of lower-limb amputation in patients with diabetic foot and its association with the clinical and vascular severity of the disease, assessed using the Rutherford, WIfI, and GLASS classification systems, together with clinical follow-up during hospitalization, outpatient monitoring, and up to six months after completion of treatment. The outcome will be evaluated by the frequency and proportion of patients who progress to minor or major amputation, as well as by comparing these rates across different clinical, infectious, and vascular anatomical risk strata. | — |
