Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier survival curves depicting rates of contralateral major amputation in all patients undergoing either an initial major or initial minor amputation (P = .03). Standard error is <10% throughout both curves. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2013 58, 1571-1577.e1DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2013.06.055) Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier survival curves depicting rates of contralateral major amputation in all patients with and without diabetes in (A) those who underwent an initial major amputation (P = .02) and (B) those who underwent an initial minor amputation (P = .13). Standard error is <10% throughout both curves. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2013 58, 1571-1577.e1DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2013.06.055) Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier survival curves depicting rates of contralateral major amputation in all patients with and without chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) in (A) those who underwent an initial major amputation (P < .001) and (B) those who underwent an initial minor amputation (P < .01). Standard error is <10% throughout both curves. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2013 58, 1571-1577.e1DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2013.06.055) Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier survival curves depicting rates of contralateral major amputation in all patients with and without end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in (A) those who underwent an initial major amputation (P < .01; dotted line denotes where standard error exceeds 10%) and (B) those who underwent an initial minor amputation (P < .001; standard error is <10% throughout the curve).
