Abstract
AIM - The study aims at testing and validating Amit Jain’s classification and Amit Jain’s scoring system for diabetic foot complication.

Majority of the patients were males [73.8%] in this study. Majority of the patients belonged to Type 1 diabetic foot complications [67.2%] followed by type 3 diabetic foot complication [29.5%] and it was statistically significant (P<0.001).Wet gangrene was most common pathological lesion seen in 24.6% followed by abscess which was seen in 23%.Majority of diabetic foot patients [68.9%] had a score between 6-10 and were in low risk category of major amputation. There were two mortality in this study and it was associated with high scores {22.00+/-11.31, P<0.001} and it was statistically significant. Conclusion - In this validation study, it is clearly seen that type 1 diabetic foot complications accounts for significant number of cases admitted in hospitals with wet gangrene and abscess being the commonest lesions seen.
