Summary: Background: Patients with chronic critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are at high risk of amputation and death. Despite the general recommendation for revascularization in CTLI in the guidelines, the underlying evidence for such a recommendation is limited. The aim of our study was to assess the outcome of patients with CLTI depending on the use of revascularization in a retrospective real-world cohort. Patients and methods: Administrative data of the largest German Health insurance (BARMER GEK) were provided for all patients that were hospitalized for the treatment of CLTI Rutherford category (RF) 5 and 6 between 2009 and 2011. Patients were followed-up until December 31st, 2012 for limb amputation and death in relation to whether patients did (Rx +) or did not have (Rx −) revascularization during index-hospitalization. Results: We identified 15,314 patients with CLTI at RF5 (n = 6,908 (45.1%)) and RF6 (n = 8,406 (54.9%)), thereof 7,651 (50.0%) underwent revascularization (Rx +) and 7,663 (50.0%) were treated conservatively (Rx −). During follow-up (mean 647 days; 95% CI 640–654 days) limb amputation (46.5% Rx− vs. 40.6% Rx+, P < 0.001) and overall mortality (48.2% Rx− vs. 42.6% Rx+, P < 0.001) were significantly lower in the subgroup Rx+. Conclusions: In a real-world setting, only half of CLTI were revascularized during the in-hospital treatment. Though, revascularization was associated with significantly better observed short- and long-term outcome. These data do not allow causal conclusion due to lack of data on the underlying reason for applied or withheld revascularization and therefore may involve a relevant selection bias.

INTRODUCTION Long-term damages after lower extremity amputation have previously been analysed in three systematic reviews 5–7 showing that amputees have a higher risk for developing knee and hip osteoarthritis on the sound side. The altered gait pattern appears to increase the load on the sound side.1–3 This paper analysed the extent to which the above described assumption is supported by the scientific literature with specific focus on the risk of developing back pain and osteoarthritis in amputees.
