  "abstract": "With the objective of describing the clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized for diabetic foot in the internal medicine service of the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital during the year 2024, a retrospective observational study was conducted. 114 medical records were reviewed. Sociodemographic and clinical variables, metabolic profile (HbA1c), lesion severity (Wagner scale), and in-hospital outcomes were analyzed. 114 patients were included with a mean age of 66.9 years and a predominance of male sex (69.3%). The average glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 8.37%. According to the Wagner scale, 43.9% were admitted with grade 4 (localized gangrene) and 31.6% with grade 3. The median hospital stay was 12.5 days, the overall amputation rate was 46.5%, and mortality was 7.0%. In conclusion, the population hospitalized in Internal Medicine presents high clinical severity, characterized by poor metabolic control, critical ischemia, and gangrene at admission, which is associated with a high rate of major amputations.",
