About this trial

This study examines the demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of patients with diabetic foot ulcers admitted to 5 Azar Hospital, Gorgan, in 2024. By analyzing factors such as Hb, WBC, HbA1C, ESR, and CRP in relation to ulcer severity, the study aims to identify predictors of outcomes and support more effective prevention and management strategies
