Electronic medical data were gathered, including: independent variables (such as age, sex, body mass index, education level and duration of diabetes); and dependent variables (such as number of surgeries, therapeutic regimen, Wagner grade, white blood cell counts, length of hospital stay (LoS), outcomes and treatment costs).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 288 patients were included in the study, 192 of whom were male, and the median age was 65 years.
