AMPREDICT Mobility-4: A Novel Four Category Mobility Outcome Prediction Model for Patients Undergoing Vascular Amputation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to create a new mobility outcome prediction model (AMPREDICT Mobility-4) that can be applied at the time a decision is made that amputation is necessary due to an underlying vascular aetiology. It can be used to predict mobility outcome in patients undergoing transmetatarsal (TM), transtibial (TT), or transfemoral (TF) amputation.

Methods

A cohort study retrospectively identified persons with lower limb amputation (LLA) through a large Veterans Affairs dataset, then prospectively enrolled participants to obtain their 12 month post-amputation self reported mobility. Seven hundred and four patients with first unilateral TM, TT, or TF amputation secondary to diabetes and or peripheral arterial disease were identified between February 2021 and
