Background: Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are a major cause of morbidity and lower-limb amputations. This study analyzes clinical risk factors and predictors of amputation. This study aims to formulate evidence-based guidelines for effective diabetic foot management by applying risk score stratification to predict amputation risk and optimize limb-salvage outcomes.

Methods: A prospective observational study on 50 diabetic patients with foot infections. Data included neuropathy, vascular status, ulcer grade, infection severity, comorbidities, HbA1c, and outcomes.

Conclusion: Poor glycemic control, neuropathy, advanced Wagner grade, PAD, deep ulcers, and comorbidities were major predictors of amputation. Early risk stratification and intervention may reduce limb loss.
