[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xvNTHZ. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This report describes trends in the rates of lower-extremity amputation and revascularization procedures and vascular disease risk factors. Methods. We analyzed trends in National Hospital Discharge Survey data for 1979 through 1996 and in National Health Interview Study data for 1983 through 1994. Results. Despite a decline between 1983/84 and 1991/92, by 1995/96 the rate of major amputation had increased 10.6% since 1979/80. The earlier 12-year decline was positively correlated with reductions in the prevalence of smoking (r=0.88, P<. hypertension p="02)," and heart disease but not diabetes during the amputation angioplasty rates were inversely correlated decline in occurred before increase angioplasty. major rate which has increased since was per people conclusions. fell years following diffusion of distal bypass surgery widespread use peripheral because prevalence primary are unknown it is difficult to estimate contribution recent improvements vascular limb preservation.>
