Abstract
ABSTRACT Background The aim of this study was to systematically review the risk of falls in people with diabetes‐related foot ulcers (DFU). Methods A systematic search of Medline, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane and CINAHL was undertaken to identify observational studies reporting falls and containing a group of people with a DFU and a control group with diabetes but no DFU. Risk of bias was assessed by a modified Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Meta‐analysis was performed using a random effects model. Results Four studies involving 3643 participants with a DFU and 42,436 participants with diabetes but no DFU were included. A meta‐analysis showed high heterogeneity between studies ( I 2 = 95%) and an increased risk of falls in people with DFU (risk ratio 2.25 and 95% CI 1.05–4.84). One study had a low risk of bias and three studies had a high risk of bias. Leave‐one‐out analyses showed that exclusion of the study with the largest effect on heterogeneity resulted in a risk ratio of 1.80 (95% CI 1.33–2.43 and I 2 = 0%). Conclusions Currently available evidence suggests people with a DFU have a higher risk of falls but most past studies have a high risk of bias. Further well‐designed cohort studies are required.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
