Objective: To determine the value of patient characteristics, laboratory parameters, and imaging procedures in the assessment of the severity and prognosis of diabetic foot infections (DFIs). Material and Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics of 71 patients with DFI were evaluated retrospectively. Patient characteristics and clinical data including diabetes status and wound related information, laboratory and radiologic findings, and outcomes were recorded. Results: In patients between 35 and 60 years old, the frequency of recurrent diabetic foot infec - tions were four and half-times higher than in those over 60 years (OR 4.55, 95% CI 1.50-13.83, p= 0.007). The white blood cell count was significantly higher in severe infections (p
