Overview

Umbrella review synthesizes evidence on diabetic foot assessment tools' psychometric properties and quality.

Key Points

  • This review aims to synthesize and evaluate the measurement properties of instruments used to assess diabetic foot.
  • Systematic literature search of multiple databases from 2010 to 2025.
  • Two independent reviewers screened studies and assessed methodological quality using ROBIS and COSMIN.
  • Analysis included eleven systematic reviews encompassing 24 instruments categorized into four types.
  • 73% of reviews were rated with a high risk of bias.
  • Common properties included reliability and construct validity; rare assessments were for responsiveness and cross-cultural validity.
  • Methodological weaknesses limited the ability to draw robust conclusions about the tools.
