Abstract

Diabetes is a common chronic disease, which can lead to a number of complications including lower extremity amputation (LEA). On-going management of diabetes requires the provision of good quality care. Assessing the quality of diabetes care is difficult. Measurement of quality has been described in terms of structures, processes and outcomes. This article focuses on the long-term clinical outcome of LEA, as an indicator of the quality of diabetes care.
