Abstract

Diabetic foot disease is a complication of diabetes mellitus, impacting morbidity, quality of life, and healthcare costs. Its clinical assessment is fragmented across multiple classification systems (SINBAD, IDSA), hindering multidisciplinary communication. The Diabetic Foot Status (DFS) is a new clinical classification based on the latest guidelines from the International Working Group on Diabetic Foot (IWGDF). It facilitates the classification of diabetic foot into three states: «Green,» «Amber,» and «Red,» also incorporating the degree of infection and the predominant origin of the lesion: neuropathic, ischemic, or mixed. The DFS is an innovative, evidence-based classification that facilitates multidisciplinary communication, in clinical practice.
