Lower Extremity Amputation Rates From 2016 to 2021 in People With and Without Diabetes Mellitus in the Netherlands: DUDE-9, a Retrospective, Observational Study
Compared to earlier Dutch studies, major LEA incidence appears to be slightly fluctuating over time, without an increase in minor amputations. This contrasts with other countries, where increased minor amputation rates are observed. These data provide valuable insights into LEA rates and emphasize that individuals most at risk are those with T1DM. More detailed studies, including longitudinal and clinical data, are needed to further specify groups and individuals at risk.<b>Levels of Evidence:</b> Level III: Retrospective cohort study.
