摘要: OBJECTIVES: This report describes trends in the rates of lower-extremity amputation and revascularization procedures vascular disease risk factors. METHODS: We analyzed National Hospital Discharge Survey data for 1979 through 1996 Health Interview Study 1983 1994.

The earlier 12-year was positively correlated with reductions prevalence smoking (r = 0.88, P < .0001), hypertension 0.65, .02), heart 0.73, .007), but not diabetes -0.33, .29). During 1980s, angioplasty were inversely -0.75, .001), occurred before increase angioplasty. rate, which has 1993, 24.95 per 100,000 people 1996. CONCLUSIONS: Major fell years following ...
