Influence of Diabetes on Lower Limb Amputation
An observational study of Diabetes and PAD, run by University of Glasgow at 1 site in United Kingdom.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence limb fitting in those with diabetes compared to those without diabetes. The population without diabetes will usually present with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and are similar in management following LEA. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Rehabilitation & Function Following Lower Limb Amputation: the Influence of Diabetes
The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence limb fitting in those with diabetes compared to those without diabetes. The population without diabetes will usually present with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and are similar in management following LEA. The impact that not walking with a prosthesis has long term on both populations will be explored. In general, previous research has used retrospective analysis of case notes which, although valuable, have fixed fields and only allow the researcher to look at associations between factors not at causation. Additionally, very few have followed a population over time. Therefore this study will be a prospective observational analysis of all those who undergo a LEA in one year from 01/03/14 to 28/02/15 within the Greater Glasgow \& Clyde area with follow up at 6, 12 \& 18 months from date of amputation.
Read the detailed description
This research has been designed to ask the following question: What are the factors that influence the rehabilitation and functional outcomes following LEA, in the long term in both those with and without diabetes.
Therefore this study will be a prospective observational analysis of all those who undergo a LEA in one year within the Greater Glasgow \& Clyde area with follow up at 6, 12 \& 18 months from date of amputation.
- Primary Endpoint Comparison of rehabilitation and functional outcomes in those with diabetes to those without diabetes, up to 18 months post LEA.
- Secondary endpoints
- At discharge from rehabilitation, the characteristics of those who proceed to limb fitting following LEA to those who do not will be defined.
- At discharge from rehabilitation, the characteristics of those with diabetes that do not proceed to limb fitting following LEA compared to those who do.
- At discharge from rehabilitation to 18 months post LEA, a comparison of the characteristics in those with and without diabetes.
- From six months post LEA, at 6 monthly intervals (6,12 \& 18 months), a comparison of the health status, social circumstances, mobility and quality of life measures in those with and without diabetes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Diabetes and PAD, run by University of Glasgow at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Mortality (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2018.
