Abstract

In this study, we redefine the diagnostic landscape of diabetic ulcers (DUs), a major diabetes complication. Our research uncovers new biomarkers linked to immunogenic cell death (ICD) in DUs by utilizing RNA-sequencing data of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) analysis combined with a comprehensive database interrogation. Employing a random forest algorithm, we have developed a diagnostic model that demonstrates improved accuracy in distinguishing DUs from normal tissue, with satisfactory results from ROC analysis. Beyond mere diagnosis, our model categorizes DUs into novel molecular classifications, which may enhance our comprehension of their underlying pathophysiology. This study bridges the gap between molecular insights and clinical practice. It sets the stage for transformative strategies in DUs management, marking a significant step forward in personalized medicine for diabetic patients.
