[2-year results of leg amputation in Hungary based on a nationwide data base].

Abstract:

:Authors review nation-wide hospital data of amputees over two years in order to make comparison with similar data gathered about 20 years ago. Data were provided by the National Medical Records Centre and processed by own developed programmes. The quality level of data validity is slightly criticised. The cause of amputation was most often vascular disease, amputees were elderly and large majority of amputation surgery was carried out on the lower limb. The rate of below-knee amputation has gone up favourably over the 20 years, but there are large regional differences within the country. Mortality parameters remarkably exceed those of foreign countries. Regarding compromised data accuracy, still there are ways of exploiting data in favour of quality improvement of care, e.g. improve below-knee amputation rate, reduce mortality. Publication of data can be of bench-marking importance for hospitals by enabling them to compare own results with those of other hospitals, as well as develop and improve performance.
