Brief Summary

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

Whilst mortality rates and surgical limitations are widely known and understood for each intervention performed, the cost implications, in UHL, are not known. Therefore, it is deemed a matter of interest to understand these costs and weigh them against the mortality rates for each intervention if available.

Detailed Description

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

Surgical interventions for patients with CLTI include endovascular revascularisation, by-pass revascularisation and amputation.

Clinical outcomes vary greatly for each intervention. The 5-year mortality rate for major amputations i.e., below knee (BKA) and above knee (AKA), is reported to range from 30% to 70%, with AKA having the higher rate of mortality. Concomitant Type II diabetes increases these rates of mortality for both AKA and BKA.

Whilst mortality rates are widely known and understood for each intervention performed, the cost implications, in UHL, are not known. Therefore, it is deemed a matter of interest to understand these costs and weigh them against the mortality rates for each intervention.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Cases where CLTI was treated surgically by a Vascular Consultant at UHL will be included in this analysis. That being individuals who underwent revascularisation procedures and/or lower limb amputation.
2. This analysis will look at cases from a set time frame, that being 1st March 2022 to 1st March 2023.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Cases where CLTI was treated conservatively/without surgical intervention will not be included.
2. Surgical intervention outside of UHL.
3. Cases that occurred outside of the set timeframe.
