Partial proportional odds model for predicting multiple lower extremity amputation among T2DM patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background or introduction

Multiple Lower extremity amputation (MLEA) is an unfortunate outcome following a lower extremity amputation (LEA) in individuals with diabetes. The challenges faced by individual with MLEA are significantly higher than those who have undergone a single amputation. Therefore, developing a reliable and accurate method for determining risk factors associated with MLEA is essential for reducing the incidence of this outcome among diabetic patients.

Objectives

This study aimed to explore the demographic and clinical characteristics of diabetic inpatients with foot ulcers. The goal was to develop a statistical model to determine the risk factors of MLEA among patients type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

Data for statistical model development
