“…Due to differing data definitions and coding practices between countries the comparability of those results is limited. However, regardless of potential sources of bias inherent in international comparisons, the comparatively high rate of amputations in Germany needs in depth analysis [18, 20].…”

“…Recently, it has been emphasized that uniform definitions of the amputation level are required to ensure international comparability. In this stance, it was highlighted that analyses based on German diagnosis-related groups (DRG) may be challenging as for instance the Syme procedure is defined as a minor amputation [15]. Therefore, in this study OPS-codes were used to quantify incidences for distinct amputation levels.…”

“…An analysis of national hospital discharge data from Finland between 1997 and 2007 revealed a decrease from 13.6 to 9.3 per 100,000 person-years for people with DM [14]. Actual reliable data based on nationwide registries is important for stakeholders in health care systems in order to estimate future demands and evaluate advances in diabetic care and vascular medicine [15]. However, studies quantifying amputation rates only considered population-based data with latest updates for the year 2015 and the current epidemiology of lower limb amputations is unknown for European countries.…”

“…We argue that within highly specialized fields, such as prosthetic prescription and amputee care, there is an urgent need to understand decision making. Studying decision-making strategies of prosthetists is timely as the rate of amputation across the globe is rapidly increasing (Rümenapf & Morbach, 2014).…”
