Abstract

The Society for Vascular Surgery has proposed the Wound, Ischaemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) classification system as a prognostic tool for the one year amputation risk and the added value of revascularisation in patients with chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI). This systematic review summarises the current evidence on the prognostic value of the WIfI classification system in clinical practice.
