predicting risk of amputation, 2.9 (CI 1.3-6.2), 3.0 (CI 1.3-7.1) and 3.0 (1.4-6.5),respectively.Lehto et al (1996) prospectively followed for 7 years 1,044 people aged 45 to 64 yearswith Type 2 diabetes. During the 7-year follow-up, the incidence of amputation was5.6% in men and 5.3% in women. Compared with people without an amputationduring the follow-up, people who had an amputation were more likely to haveabsence of two or more peripheral pulses (p

In this group univariateanalysis showed that the RR of foot ulcer increased as the number of pedal pulsesdiminished. Compared with those with 4 pedal pulses those who had 3, 2, 1 and 0pedal pulses had RR of 1.52 (CI 1.02-2.26), 2.51 (CI 1.87-3.37), 4.03 (CI 2.54-6.37)and 4.72 (CI 3.28-6.78), with p
