Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- NIDDK Diabetic Foot Consortium established September 2018 to facilitate high-quality clinical research on DFUs to improve healing and prevent amputations
- Initial focus: develop and validate DFU biomarkers for clinical care and research; currently studying biomarkers to predict wound healing and recurrence
- Structure: data coordinating center, clinical sites and biomarker analysis units
