Study population: This study aimed to analyse survival outcome in patients with dysvascular lower limb amputation and identify relationship with existing comorbidities, i.e. diabetes mellitus (DM), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), ischaemic heart disease (IHD), estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We also analysed the length of hospital stay, linear relationship with duration of DM, and vascular interventions.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients admitted for major dysvascular lower limb amputation, with complete follow-up record available.

Who cannot join

  • Traumatic amputations, minor amputations, i.e. ray and toe amputation, and incomplete follow-up records

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

survival in relation to time (time frame: 6 months to 6 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
