Objective: To estimate the lifetime health and economic effects of optimal prevention and treatment of the diabetic foot according to international standards and to determine the cost-effectiveness of these interventions in the Netherlands.

Mean survival time, quality of life, foot complications, and costs were the outcome measures assessed.
