INTRODUCTION: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) in diabetic patients is defined by non-healing foot ulcer or rest pain for more than 2 weeks with ankle pressure of less than 40 mmHg. The SVS WIfI classification system stratifies CLI on the basis of perfusion, extent of wound and superadded infection to provide a composite score which guides further management and predicts final prognosis OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to use the SVS WIfI scoring system to predict the need for early revascularization versus early amputation depending on the composite WIfI score at presentation.
METHODOLOGY: This was a retrospective observational study. Data was collected on patients admitted with CLI, in the last 2 years, to calculate composite WIfI score. The WIfI categories according to risk of limb loss were identified with endpoint being major or minor amputation.
RESULTS: Among the 87 patients reviewed, 35 patients (40%) required major amputation, and 29 of those underwent vascular intervention (83%) as part of their care. Median age of the cohort was 72 and 71% were male patients. Comparative analysis between major amputations and minor amputation showed the median score on initial clinical presentation to be 7 in major amputation and 5 in minor amputations (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: The composite WIFi score (a summation of the Wound, Ischaemia, and Infection sub-scores) was a good predictor of need for an amputation WIfI scoring system is a useful tool and should be used early in the management of infected ischaemic limbs.
