Patients were categorised as infected (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200980) or uninfected (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200970) cohorts. The diabetic foot was evaluated using the American Diabetic Foot Grading system, whereas ulcers were categorised using Wagner's method. Analysed were patient\u2010specific information, clinical data and risk factors including neuropathy, arterial disease and foot deformities. Our findings revealed no statistically significant differences between infected and uninfected cohorts concerning age, body mass index, gender, duration of diabetes or ankle\u2010brachial index values (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05). However, infected group had a higher proportion of smokers and reduced socio\u2010economic status (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Wagner grades indicated a greater severity in the infected group, with grade 3, grade 4 and grade 5 differing significantly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Comparative analysis of ulcer characteristics revealed no statistically significant differences in ulcer surface area and depth, but the infected group had a higher prevalence of osteomyelitis and a greater number of ulcers (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Blood vessel complications, retinopathy, the presence of three or more ulcers, osteomyelitis and diabetic nephropathy were substantially more prevalent in the infected group, as determined by univariate analysis (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Subsequent multivariate logistic analysis revealed that patients with blood vessel complications, retinopathy, osteomyelitis, diabetic nephropathy and three or more ulcers were at increased risk for infection (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In addition, lifestyle factors, such as smoking, sedentary behaviour, inadequate foot hygiene, obesity and poor glycaemic control, were also associated with higher infection rates. A multivariate analysis of foot wound factors revealed that deeper, longer and recurrent lesions increased the likelihood of infection.\n                    <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    was the most frequently isolated bacterium from the infected group's bacterial culture, followed by\n                    <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The study enhanced our comprehension of the multifactorial risk factors associated with infections in diabetic foot patients, highlighting the need for thorough clinical evaluation, lifestyle modification and vigilant infection control.\n
