RETRACTION: Effect of Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Other Risk Factors on the Prevalence of Lower Extremity Amputation: A Meta‐Analysis
TL;DR
This retracted paper originally aimed to analyze risk factors for lower extremity amputation in diabetic foot ulcers but was found to have issues with peer review and text overlap.
