Background: Numerous risk factors for lower limb amputations are known; however, this study aimed to identify risk factors for re-amputation in patients within 6 months from an initial lower limb amputation procedure.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study was performed at the Hospital Regional Hans Dieter Schmidt in Brazil. The study included patients who were aged at least 18 years and had undergone lower limb amputation between 2013 and 2022.
