Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the main problems in health systems and a global public health threat that has increased dramatically over the past 2 decades. Aims: To determine the effects of ulcer size, ulcer age, duration of diabetes, glycaemic control, infection, lower limb ischemia and neuropathy on outcome of diabetic foot ulcer. Materials and Methods: The present study was a Prospective comparative study. This Study was conducted from December 2020 to May 2022 at Department of general Surgery, Katihar medical college and Hospital, katihar. Result: Regarding the duration of diabetes, their findings indicate that individuals with longer duration of diabetes were at higher risk of developing foot ulcers. Specifically, individuals with diabetes for more than 10 years had a higher prevalence of foot ulcers compared to those with diabetes for less than 10 years. This is consistent with your study's finding that the mean duration of diabetes in individuals with foot ulcers was 9.21±3.76 years. Conclusion: The study results suggest that a conservative approach may be a more cost- effective option for treating diabetic foot ulcers, and early diagnosis and treatment can lead to better outcomes. Further research could focus on developing more targeted and effective treatments for foot ulcers, as well as improving prevention measures for diabetic complications. In this study suggests that with targeted approach we have almost obviated the need for any amputation.
