Core Tip	This study introduces a new risk stratification model for recurrent diabetic foot ulcer based on clinical parameters, metabolic biomarkers and vascular assessments. The tool, based on a nomogram, achieves a high predictive accuracy (C-index 0.826) and successfully divides patients into three well-differentiated groups with statistically significant dissimilar recurrence values. This clinically relevant model allows for recognition of patients at high risk, and will guide targeted prevention efforts in this patient population and could lead to a substantial reduction in the burden of recurring diabetic foot ulcers.
