Background: Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a major complication in diabetes patients, which leads to morbidity with amputation and mortality. This study aimed to assess the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of DFU patients. Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at Raden Mattaher Regional Hospital, Jambi City. Secondary data were collected from the medical records of DFU patients during the period from January 2024 to December 2024. Patients under 18 years old were excluded. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 30. Normality test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Results: Of 52 DFU patients were included, aged <60 years (63.5%) (55.19 ± 9.36 (Mean ± SD), female (67.3%), married (86.5%), unemployed (75.0%). Most had formal education (88.5%) and were covered by national health insurance (98.1%). Clinically, diagnosed with ulcer 5th grade (40.4%), infection severity were severe (≥ grade 3 (69.3%), diabetes duration (median 9 (min-max; 1 – 18) years, Body Mass Index (BMI) (median 22.40 (min-max; 16.40 – 33.40) kg/m2, HbA1c (11.24 ± 3.07 (Mean ± SD)), non-smokers (82.7%), commorbidities (Hypertension and PAD (76.9%), no amputation (71.2%), length of stay (LOS) (median 7 (min-max; 1 – 35) days. Conclusion: This study showed sociodemographic and clinical profile of DFU patients were predominantly middle-aged, female, unemployed, and insured, with a high burden of comorbidities, severe infections, and poor glycemic control. These findings highlight the need for early detection and integrated management strategies to reduce complications.
