Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate diabetic foot ulcer recurrence using the Indonesia Diabetic Foot Ulcer Recurrence Assessment Tool (INDIFURUTO), a new diabetic foot risk recurrence assessment tool. This study used a prospective cohort design. A total of thirty-three participants met the inclusion criteria. We used sensitivity, specificity values, AUC, and, respectively, a 95% confidence interval (CI) to calculate prognostic accuracy measures. The results showed that this study had an AUC of 0,97 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91-1.00]. The cut-off point (Youden Index) was <45, with sensitivity and specificity values of 100% and 90%, respectively. The utilization of this model can facilitate the monitoring and enhancement of foot ulcer recurrence prevention in individuals diagnosed with diabetes. This study showed that the new model had a high prediction. Therefore, this model better stratifies people at high risk of foot ulceration.
