Socioeconomic and hospital-related predictors of amputation for critical limb ischemia
Open accessAbstract
Objective Disparities in limb salvage procedures may be driven by socioeconomic status (SES) and access to high volume hospitals. We sought to identify SES factors associated with major amputation in the setting of critical limb ischemia (CLI). Methods The 2003–2007 Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried for discharges containing lower extremity revascularization (LER) or major amputation, and chronic CLI (N=958,120). The Elixhauser method was used to adjust for co-morbidities. Significant predictors in bivariate logistic regression were entered into a multivariate logistic regression for the dependent variable of amputation vs. LER. Results Overall, 24.2% of CLI patients underwent amputation. Significant differences were seen between both groups in bivariate and multivariate analysis of SES factors, including race, income, and insurance status. Lower income patients were more likely to be treated at low LER volume institutions (OR 1.74, P<.001). Patients at higher LER volume centers (OR 15.16, P <0.001), admitted electively (OR 2.19, P <0.001) and evaluated with diagnostic imaging (OR 10.63, P <0.001) were more likely to receive LER. Conclusions After controlling for co-morbidities, minority patients, those with lower SES, and patients with Medicaid were more likely receive amputation for CLI in low volume hospitals. Addressing SES and hospital factors may reduce amputation rates for CLI.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
