Laboratory and Pharmaceutical Data Associated With Hospital Readmission in Persons With Diabetic Foot Ulcers.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a leading cause of lower extremity amputations among persons with diabetes (PWD) and a common cause of hospitalizations. This study identified demographic characteristics, lab values, and comorbidities associated with 30-day and 90-day hospital readmission in persons with DFU. A retrospective chart review at our institution examined 397 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted with DFU between January 2014 and December 2018.
