Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this prospective longitudinal observational cohort study is to determine the nutritional intake, nutritional status, and physical activity level in people who have undergone a major dysvascular lower limb amputation (LLA) at different moments post-LLA (during hospital admission several days post-LLA, and at 5 weeks, 6 months, and 9 months post-LLA). The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* What is the nutritional intake, nutritional status, and physical activity level at different moments post-LLA?
* What is the association between nutritional intake and physical activity level, and nutritional status?
* What is the association between nutritional intake, nutritional status and physical activity level and clinical outcomes (mortality, wound healing, quality of life, physical functioning)?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

People requiring an LLA are at high risk for adverse clinical outcomes. Undernutrition and low physical activity level may affect clinical outcomes negatively. However, little is known about the nutritional intake, nutritional status and physical activity level in the LLA population, and their association with clinical outcomes.
