Evaluation of revascularization benefit quartiles using the Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection classification system for diabetic patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Society for Vascular Surgery Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) classification system was developed to stratify the risk of 1-year major amputation. Recently, the WIfI scores were used to define the estimated revascularization benefit quartiles ranging from high benefit (Q1) to questionable benefit (Q4). The aim of our study was to evaluate the revascularization benefit quartiles in a cohort of diabetic patients presenting with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Methods

All diabetic patients presenting to our multidisciplinary diabetic foot and wound clinic (June 2012 to May 2020) who underwent lower extremity revascularization for CLTI were included. The affected limbs were graded using the WIfI system and assigned to an estimated benefit of rev
