However, its biological sufficiency for driving diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) regeneration remains unvalidated. This investigation utilized a structural modeling framework to interrogate the non-linear relationship between albumin and DFU repair and to identify the precise physiological threshold required for active healing.MethodsThis prospective, dual-center cohort study of 733 DFU patients utilized a 20-week observation window anchored to baseline enrollment (Time Zero, T0). To isolate the independent metabolic effect of albumin from systemic inflammatory confounding, we implemented a doubly robust framework integrating generalized propensity score (GPS) weighting with restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling. The primary endpoint was Percentage Area Reduction (PAR) at 20 weeks.ResultsBaseline albumin was identified as a significant independent driver of wound reduction (β = 3.25; 95% CI: 0.76-5.73; P = 0.01) and a protective factor against major amputation (OR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.79-0.99; P = 0.037).

No significant regenerative progress occurred within the 31.4-37.9 g/L stagnation plateau.

Multivariable logistic regression model was applied to examine the association between overall diet quality and DFU.ResultsMean total overall diet quality scores were significantly lower in participants with DFUs than in controls (56.3 ± 8.2 vs 61.2 ± 8.5; P < 0.001). All diet quality components, variety, adequacy, moderation, and overall balance, were also lower among DFU cases (P < .01). In fully adjusted model, the association between diet quality score and DFU was no statistically significant when analyzed as a continuous variable (OR = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.78-1.03). However, participants in the highest diet quality tertile had significantly lower odds of DFU compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.49-0.99), with a significant dose-response trend observed across tertiles (P for trend = 0.031).ConclusionsDiet quality score was not significantly associated with DFU when modeled as a continuous variable; however, higher diet quality tertiles were associated with lower odds of diabetic foot ulcer, suggesting a potential protective relationship of overall dietary patterns after accounting for major sociodemographic and clinical risk factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":94229,"journal":{"name":"The international journal of lower extremity wounds","volume":" ","pages":"15347346261451573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
