Factors influencing lower extremity amputation outcomes in people with active foot ulceration in regional Australia: A retrospective cohort study.
The aim of this study was to determine what factors contribute to the likelihood of LEA in people with active foot ulceration in regional Australia. This retrospective cohort study audited patients with active foot ulceration in a multidisciplinary high risk foot service (HRFS) in regional Australia. Neurological, vascular and wound characteristics were systematically extracted, along with demographic information.
