Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent a major complication of diabetes mellitus, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and healthcare systems worldwide. Nutritional status has been identified as a crucial factor influencing wound healing in DFUs, yet its role in a surgical population remains underexplored. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the nutritional status of 200 surgical patients with DFUs and assessed its impact on wound healing. We employed various nutritional assessment tools, including body mass index (BMI), serum albumin levels, and dietary intake analysis, to determine patients' nutritional status. The relationship between nutritional status and ulcer healing was examined through wound assessment scores over a specified period. Results: Preliminary findings indicate a significant correlation between poor nutritional status and delayed DFU healing. Patients with malnutrition exhibited slower wound healing rates compared to well-nourished individuals. Conclusions: Enhancing nutritional support in surgical patients with DFUs could improve wound healing outcomes. These findings underscore the need for integrated nutritional assessments and interventions as part of the comprehensive management of DFUs in surgical populations.
