1 Racial differences in the incidence of limb loss secondary to peripheral vascular disease: A population-based study  Timothy R. Dillingham, MD, Liliana E. Pezzin, PhD, Ellen J.

2 Fig. 1 Age- and gender-adjusted rates of dysvascular amputations, by race, standardized to the 1986 Maryland population. P values indicating significant differences: racial differences in rates, P<.001; increase in amputation rates among black persons over time, P=.004; increase in amputation rates among nonblack persons over time, P<.001. No statistically significant changes existed in the racial gap (black–nonblack differences) over time.

3 Fig. 2 Age- and gender-adjusted rates of toe amputations, by race, standardized to the 1986 Maryland population. P values indicating significant differences: racial differences in rates, P<.001; increase in amputation rates among black persons over time, P=.016; increase in amputation rates among nonblack persons over time, P<.001. No statistically significant changes existed in the racial gap (black–nonblack differences) over time.

4 Fig. 3 Age- and gender-adjusted rates of foot amputations, by race, standardized to the 1986 Maryland population. P values indicating significant differences: racial differences in rates, P<.001; increase in amputation rates among black persons over time, P<.001; increase in amputation rates among nonblack persons over time, P<.001; widening disparities by race (black–nonblack differences) over time, P=.004.

5 Fig. 4 Age- and gender-adjusted rates of transtibial amputations, by race, standardized to the 1986 Maryland population. P values indicating significant differences: racial differences in rates, P<.001; increase in amputation rates among black persons over time, P=.016; increase in amputation rates among nonblack persons over time, P=.042. Widening disparities by race (black–nonblack differences) over time approached but did not reach statistical significance (P=.11).

6 Fig. 5 Age- and gender-adjusted rates of transfemoral amputations, by race, standardized to the 1986 Maryland population. Racial differences in rates are significant at the P<.001 level. No statistically significant time trends existed in amputation rates among black persons, amputation rates among nonblack persons, or in the racial gap (black–nonblack differences) over time.
