title: Foot ulceration in a secondary care diabetic clinic population: a 4-year prospective study.
abstract: Diabetes guidelines recommend that feet are stratified into low-risk, increased-risk and high-risk. We examined prospective foot ulceration in our secondary care diabetes clinic. At 4-year follow-up, foot ulceration was present in 1/586 (0.17%) in the low-risk, 10/305 (3.3%) in those at increased-risk and 28/236 (11.9%) in the high-risk group.
