Aims: We studied the changes in the incidence of lower limb amputation (LLA) in Andalusia from 1998 to 2006 in the population with and without diabetes.

Methods: We undertook a retrospective study of all LLA performed in Andalusia in people aged 30 years old, with or without diabetes, between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2006. We obtained the crude and standardized incidence rates by year, and sex for three periods: 1998-2000, 2001-2003 and 2004-2006 and calculated the RR of requiring LLA in patients with diabetes.
