Issue Date: | 2009 | Journal: | Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice | Abstract: | We have studied the rate of lower extremity amputations (LEAs) in the south of Gran Canaria. The incidence rate was 319.7 per 100,000 (95% CI, 258.6-380.8) per year in the diabetic subjects. The incidence of both diabetic and non-diabetic LEAs is the highest reported in Spain. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48706 | ISSN: | 0168-8227 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.diabres.2009.06.015 | Source: | Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice[ISSN 0168-8227],v. 86, p.6-8 (Octubre 2009) |
