Assessment of infection severity lays a foundation for making treatment decisions, for which the IDSA\/IWGDF classification is recommended. Different factors may cause various severity of infection. However, few investigations have been conducted concerning factors associated with infection severity of diabetic foot ulcers.\n                    <jats:bold>Objective:<\/jats:bold>\n                    To investigate factors associated with infection severity of diabetic foot ulcers.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This cross-sectional study involved 150 subjects hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital in Guangdong Province between July 2020 and September 2021. The IDSA\/IWGDF classification was adopted to assess ulcer infection severity. Demographic and disease information, laboratory reports, and ulcer assessment results were evaluated for an association with the infection severity. The generalized linear model was performed to conduct multivariate analyses of the factors associated with the severity of foot infection.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe infected diabetic foot was 23.3%, 64.7% and 10.2%, respectively.
