Predictors of 30-day mortality in major lower limb amputations: insights from a five-year retrospective study in a South Asian LMIC
MLLA is associated with considerable short-term mortality, particularly among patients with chronic kidney disease and postoperative surgical site infections. These findings emphasize the need for proactive identification of high-risk individuals, optimization of comorbid conditions, especially renal function, and strengthening perioperative infection control practices to improve patient outcomes in resource-limited settings.
