Key facts

Wound, ischemia, and foot infection classification system panel Lower extremity WIfI
Wound, ischemia, and foot infection classification system panel
The Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection classification system (WIfI) combines aspects of the chronic limb ischemia (CLI) and the diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) classification systems to predict the one year risk for lower extremity amputation. Wound, ischemia and foot infection grades are used with a rubric to categorize one year amputation risk as very low, low, medium or high. [PMID24126108]
