Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic foot complications are a frequent cause of hospitalization and lower-limb amputation in people with diabetes, but hospital-level trends in Mexican Ministry of Health facilities remain poorly described. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the open hospital discharge databases of the Secretaria de Salud network, 2015 to 2023. Diabetic foot was defined by a principal diagnosis of diabetes with peripheral circulatory complications (ICD-10 E10.5-E14.5) and amputations by CIE-9-MC procedure codes. Results: A total of 148,263 diabetic foot hospitalizations were identified among 23,003,374 discharges, with a median length of stay of 5 days and an in-hospital mortality of 2.20% (95% CI 2.10-2.20). Hospitalizations increased 5.10% between 2015 and 2023, and diabetes-related major amputations rose 39.70%. Length of stay and mortality differed across states. Conclusions: Diabetic foot hospitalizations in Mexican Ministry of Health hospitals remained stable while major amputations increased and mortality declined, with marked differences between states.
