<scp>CODIFI2</scp>: Randomised controlled trial to compare clinical and cost‐effectiveness of swabs versus tissue sampling to inform management of infected diabetic foot ulcers
This trial was underpowered to determine whether swab or tissue sampling impacted the rate of healing or time to healing. Clinical prescribing and patient outcomes differed slightly between groups; hence, the clinical benefit of tissue sampling is not established.
