The analysis of limbs acute ischemia during seasons on the territory of South  Serbia.
The aim of this study was to examine the seasons variations in incidence of limbs acute ischemia (LAI) as well as the connection between seasons with location of LAI, old age and gender. During the three year period between January 2009 and December 2011, at the Clinic for Vascular Surgery, Clinical Center of Nis, Serbia, 167 patients were hospitalized diagnosed with limbs acute ischemia. There was no statistically significant difference in patients distribution with LAI compared with seasons (p=0.726) and months of the year (p=0.0741). There was no statistically significant difference in patients age (p=0.066), sex (p=0.923) and LAI localization (p=0.219 ) in different seasons. The absence of seasonal and monthly patterns for the AIE creation as well as its localization is followed by the absence of a connection between the age and the sex..
