Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To quantify the Lower Extremity Amputations (LEA) incidence in population with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of all the LEA carried out during 2001-2006 in area 3 of Madrid, from the codification of the reports of discharge reports. RESULTS: 310 LEA were carried out. The age-ajusted LEA incidence for any reason was 19,2/10(5) inhabitants per year (27,2 y 11,2 for men and women respectively). 261 were not-traumatic and non-tumoural (NTT) LEA, 76% were associated with DM and the incidence was 191/10(5) people with DM per year (95% confidence interval [CI(95)] 122-299) and 4,4/10(5) for people without DM per year (CI(95) 7-23), with a risk ratio of 44 (CI(95) 23-73). CONCLUSIONS: The LEA rates in population with o without diabetes are higher than the previously communicated in Madrid. It would appear convenient to design strategies to reduce the LEA rates.
