Obstructive Sleep Apnea Risk and Diabetic Foot Ulcer Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes

146 patient records from an observational study comparing 73 type 2 diabetes patients with diabetic foot ulcers to 73 matched controls. The dataset, authored by Raquel Ruano and shared on figshare under CC-BY-4.0, assesses STOP-Bang-defined OSA risk and its association with ulcer severity and healing time. It was last updated on 2026-05-29.

Use Cases

• Predicting diabetic foot ulcer healing time based on STOP-Bang OSA risk scores.
• Analyzing the association between OSA risk categories and ulcer severity classifications (WIfI).
• Building multivariable models to identify predictors of moderate-to-high amputation risk in diabetic patients.

Strengths

• Includes 146 patient records with a matched case-control design (73 cases, 73 controls).
• Contains specific clinical metrics like STOP-Bang scores, WIfI ulcer severity, and healing/amputation times.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 133.7 KB, limiting statistical power and generalizability.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect selection bias inherent to the single observational study design.
