Patients with diabetes mellitus are 10 times more possibilities to suffer non-traumatic amputation than the non-diabetic population. 30% of diabetic patients with major amputation of the lower limb die in the first year after the intervention and 50% undergo an amputation of the other lower limb in only 5 years later. Objective: To determine if peripheral arterial disease is a risk factor for major amputation by foot ulcer in diabetic patients treated at Hospital Belén de Trujillo during the 2007-2017 period. Material and methods: We worked with 345 medical records of diabetic patients with ulcer in the section of patients treated in the Department of Surgery of the Hospital Belén de Trujillo from 2007 to 2017, of which 115 were cases (major amputation) and 230 controls. (no major amputation). Results: Peripheral arterial disease was found to be a significantly associated factor with major amputation by foot ulcer. (X2: 20.4698 p = 0.0000 OR: 3.01 IC 95%: 1.85-4.89) Conclusion: Peripheral arterial disease is a risk factor for major amputation by foot ulcer in diabetic patients.
