The CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched to collect relevant literature on the incidence of amputation in Chinese patients with DFUs. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias.

Among Chinese patients with DFUs, the amputation group and the non-amputation group showed significant differences in body mass index, duration of DFUs, total cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood
