Are current wound classifications valid for predicting prognosis in people treated for limb-threatening diabetic foot ulcers?

Though PEDIS perfusion showed a trend (OR = 2.8, 95% CI 0.9–8.1), it did not reach statistical significance; furthermore, comorbidity of MACE (OR = 2.2 in Wagner, OR = 2.1 in WIfI, OR = 2.2 in Texas, OR = 2.5 in PEDIS), levels of CRP (OR = 1.8 in Wagner, OR = 1.6 in WIfI, OR = 1.8 in Texas, OR = 1.7 in PEDIS) and albumin (OR = 0.3 in Wagner, OR = 0.3 in WIfI, OR = 0.3 in Texas, OR = 0.4 in PEDIS) were independent risk factors in this subgroup. 4 DISCUSSION This study demonstrated that all the Wagner, Texas, PEDIS and WIfI wound classifications were significantly correlated with prognosis for LTDFU in univariable analysis.
