The incidence of and risk factors for hospitalisations and amputations for people with diabetes‐related foot ulcers in Queensland, 2011–19: an observational cohort study
The incidence of DFU-related hospitalisations among people with DFU was high, and most did not involve amputations. Risk factor profiles differed between hospitalisations with or without amputation procedures. Our findings could assist services determine which people with DFU would benefit most from intensive interventions, potentially averting large numbers of diabetes-related hospitalisations.
