Aims/hypothesis
The aim of this work was to study the incidence over time of lower extremity amputations and determine variables associated with increased risk of amputations in people with type 1 diabetes.
Methods
Individuals with type 1 diabetes registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Registry with no previous amputation from 1 January 1998 and followed to 2 October 2019 were included. Time-updated Cox regression and gradient of risk per SD were used to evaluate the impact of risk factors on the incidence of amputation. Age- and sex-adjusted incidences were estimated over time.
Results
Of 46,088 people with type 1 diabetes with no previous amputation (mean age 32.5 years [SD 14.5], 25,354 [55%] male sex), 1519 (3.3%) underwent amputation. Median follow-up was 12.4 years. The standardised incidence for any amputation in 1998–2001 was 2.84 (95% CI 2.32, 3.36) per 1000 person-years and decreased to 1.64 (95% CI 1.38, 1.90) per 1000 person-years in 2017–2019. The incidence for minor and major amputations showed a similar pattern. Hyperglycaemia and renal dysfunction were the strongest risk factors for amputation, followed by older age, male sex, cardiovascular comorbidities, smoking and hypertension. Glycaemic control and age- and sex-adjusted renal function improved during the corresponding time period as amputations decreased.
Conclusions/interpretation
The incidence of amputation and of the most prominent risk factors for amputation, including renal dysfunction and hyperglycaemia, has improved considerably during recent years for people with type 1 diabetes. This finding has important implications for quality of life, health economics and prognosis regarding CVD, indicating a trend shift in the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

1 型糖尿病患者下肢截肢的风险因素和发病率随时间变化:一项针对瑞典国家糖尿病登记处 46,088 名患者的观察性队列研究
目标/假设
这项工作的目的是研究随着时间的推移下肢截肢的发病率,并确定与 1 型糖尿病患者截肢风险增加相关的变量。
方法
纳入在瑞典国家糖尿病登记处登记的 1998 年 1 月 1 日至 2019 年 10 月 2 日之前没有截肢的 1 型糖尿病患者。使用时间更新的 Cox 回归和每个 SD 的风险梯度来评估风险因素对截肢发生率的影响。随着时间的推移,估计了年龄和性别调整后的发病率。
结果
在 46,088 名没有截肢的 1 型糖尿病患者中(平均年龄 32.5 岁 [SD 14.5],25,354 [55%] 男性),1519 (3.3%) 人接受了截肢。中位随访时间为 12.4 年。1998-2001 年任何截肢的标准化发病率为每 1000 人年 2.84(95% CI 2.32, 3.36),并在 2017-2019 年降至每 1000 人年 1.64(95% CI 1.38, 1.90)。小截肢和大截肢的发生率显示出类似的模式。高血糖和肾功能不全是截肢的最大危险因素,其次是高龄、男性、心血管合并症、吸烟和高血压。随着截肢次数的减少,血糖控制和年龄和性别调整后的肾功能在相应的时间段内得到改善。
结论/解释
近年来,1 型糖尿病患者的截肢发生率和最突出的截肢危险因素(包括肾功能不全和高血糖)显着改善。这一发现对 CVD 的生活质量、健康经济学和预后具有重要意义,表明 1 型糖尿病治疗的趋势转变。
