Experts evaluated factors influencing the severity of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in 177 patients. Wagner grades 4 and 5 were observed in 57.6% of cases. Age over 60 years and poor medication adherence were linked to increased DFU severity, while ease of access to health care was associated with better outcomes. Targeted interventions to improve medication adherence and healthcare access could reduce DFU severity.
