    A deep learning-derived retinal biomarker is associated with diabetic foot-related amputation risk in type 2 diabetes patients.

  • 2

    The study included 392 individuals, with 79 experiencing DF-related amputation and 313 without.

  • 3

    Model performance was assessed using AUC, cNRI, and IDI, showing incremental association with amputation risk.

  • 4

    The full model achieved an AUC of 0.791, indicating a meaningful association beyond conventional diabetes variables.

  • 5

    Sensitivity and specificity metrics were reported, with sensitivity at 87.5% and specificity at 90.4% for the retinal biomarker.
