The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a new marker used to assess a patient’s nutritional and immune status. It is calculated using serum albumin levels and total lymphocyte count. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PNI and amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Patients with DFU were enrolled in this retrospective study. In our study, a total of 386 patient data, of 110 (28.5%) amputated and 276 (71.5%) non-amputated patients, were statistically analyzed. PNI values were significantly lower in the amputated patient group than in the non-amputee patient group (p < 0.001). According to the ROC analysis results, PNI was significant in the prediction of amputation at an excellent level (AUC = 0.937 (0.911–0.963), p < 0.001). The optimal cut-off point for PNI was found to be 39,005. There was classification success for this cut-off point: sensitivity was calculated as 82.7% (74.1–89) and specificity as 93.1% (89.3–95.7). In the multivariate model, the odds ratio (OR) (95% CI) was calculated as 81.8 (38.5–173.7) for PNI. The PNI was associated with an increase in amputation rate in patients with DFU. By using PNI, patients can be directed to advanced centers and have access to early and appropriate interventions. |
