Lynar SA, et al. - In this study, researchers examined the risk of mortality and associated factors in patients with diabetic foot infections (DFI) in an Australian context. The High-Risk Foot Service for DFI included 413 consecutive adult diabetic patients with 737 admissions. Hemodialysis and older age were independent risk factors for mortality after adjusting for confounders. Findings suggested that there may be a high mortality risk associated with DFI, which is significantly increased in hemodialysis patients, highlighting the importance of targeted early and dedicated interventions for this high-risk group.
