objectives: Amputation is a multifactorial complication among @entity6 @entity1 . The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with amputation in @entity1 with @entity4760 . Methods: This matched case-control study was conducted based on the new cases of amputation from March 2012 to November 2014. We selected the new cases who had underwent amputation. Control group were chosen from cities or areas where cases were living. Each case was matched with two controls by duration of @entity6 and location. Conditional logistic regression was used to assess the association between potential risk factors and amputation. Results: One hundred thirty one cases were compared with 262 controls. The results of the adjusted model showed that sex (OR= 8.66; 95% CI: 2.68, 27.91), lower than two hba1c in each year (OR= 13.97; 95% CI: 4.97, 39.26), unsuitable shoes (OR= 5.50; 95% CI: 2.20, 13.77), smoking (OR=3.44; 95% CI: 1.45, 8.13), and body mass index (OR=1.20; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.41) were associated with amputation among @entity6 @entity1 . Conclusion: The most important factors associated with amputation were female gender, irregular monitoring of hba1c, improper footwear and smoking. Planning for educational programs and higher quality of care for @entity6 @entity1 is necessary.
