title: [Inter-nosocomial variations in amputations for vascular insufficiency].
abstract: A study has been made of 18,225 admissions to Danish hospitals for lower limb amputation in cases of diabetic or non-diabetic vascular insufficiency. Clear correlations were found between the type of department and the level of amputation, mortality and duration of hospitalisation, orthopaedic departments being characterized by lower levels of amputation, lower mortality, and shorter hospitalisation than general surgery or mixed departments.
