Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the major complications frequently observed in patients with diabetes. DFU is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation (LLA), and it is associated with cognitive decline, worsening quality of life and substantial economic impact on French healthcare system. DFU is also associated with excess risk of premature death with significant decrease in life expectancy despite major improvement in medical care during last decades. The hypothesis of the study is that this worse prognosis seen in DFU patients may not be fully explained by a high cardiovascular risk, but mainly linked to different causes, including inflammatory, infectious and malignant conditions. In addition, to conduct the first prospective, observational and multi-centre cohort of patients with DFU in France to evaluate the 5-years mortality rate, its causes and relevant prognostic determinants, the investigators will also assess all changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and the economic impact related to DFU (cost of illness study) for the French healthcare system, using SNDS claims databases. A 3-year inclusion period will start during 2020, and each participant will be followed for 5 years or until death.
