Description
Qingqing Shan wrote a 2026 letter on a blood index used to flag severe infection in diabetic foot disease. The study under review linked a score built from blood cell counts to severe cases, with a bend in the risk near one cut point. Such a cheap marker could help sort patients fast.
Shan raises a concern about overlap between the score and the rules used to call an infection severe. If the same blood signs sit on both sides, the link may be built in rather than found. He asks for care in how such markers are tested before they guide triage.
