Pilot testing the new Amit Jains scoring system for diabetic foot ulcer in predicting the risk of amputation
The aim of this study was to test the new Amit Jains diabetic foot ulcer scoring and determine the predictive validity of this simple scoring for amputation in diabetic foot ulcers. This newly derived score was applied to the above authors study that was previously done on 54 patients with diabetic...

| description | The aim of this study was to test the new Amit Jains diabetic foot ulcer scoring and determine the predictive validity of this simple scoring for amputation in diabetic foot ulcers. This newly derived score was applied to the above authors study that was previously done on 54 patients with diabetic foot ulcer. The mean Amit Jains scoring (AJ Scoring) was 5.31±1.37. Majority of the patients were in moderate risk category. 33.33% had amputation. Significant association (P=0.02) was noted with Amit Jains increasing score and amputation. Patients who had major amputation were in high-risk category group (P=0.006). The odds ratio for major amputation category was 3.39. This newly derived Amit Jains diabetic foot ulcer score is simple, easy to remember score that is an excellent predictor of amputation. Further studies are needed to know its predictive ability for healing of the ulcer. [Med-Science 2021; 10(3.000): 741-5] |
