Article Synopsis
- Diabetes, particularly type 2, has seen a significant rise over the past decade, especially in developing countries, with increasing cases in younger adults.
- A study conducted in Romania aimed to create a risk score to assess the risk of amputation in patients with diabetic foot lesions, using clinical data from two local hospitals.
- Key risk factors identified include smoking, obesity, high blood sugar levels, long duration of diabetes, fatty liver, and heart diseases, all of which can worsen diabetic foot injuries and impact overall treatment effectiveness and quality of life.
