As the global mortality rate decreases for diabetics patients, further explorations and datas are needed about the specific population of diabetics patients suffering a Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU).

This study investigates the 5 years mortality rate in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer occurring in 2010.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is an economic burden for many countries around the world. It also induces a dramatic decrease in physical, emotional, and social functioning for patients. Oftenly associated with advanced micro and macrovascular complications, high morbidity and a greater risk of premature death (mainly by Ischemic Heart Disease) occure.

Only few studies explored DFU patients' long term survival: the few datas coming from cohorts in the 2000's reported mortality rates around 45% at five years after DFU's diagnosis.

But life expectancy in diabetics patients imporved during last decade. So the main objective of our study is to evaluate the diabetics patients' 5 years mortality rate, in whom DFU was diagnosed in 2010.

Moreover, our secondary objective is to identify the mortality's predictive factors in 2010.

Inclusion Criteria:

• type 1 or 2 diabetes
• consultation for new diabetic foot ulcer during the year 2010

Exclusion Criteria:

None
