Summary Results for Overall (4 Year) Regression Models for Wound and Other Physical Health Complications.
Fig 1.
Prevalence of Selected Wound Complications by Time After Injury.
Statistically significant difference between groups, using chi-square or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate, p < 0.05 were *early amputation versus late amputation, †early amputation versus limb salvage, and ‡late amputation versus limb salvage. (Table 3 shows where injury group was significantly associated with outcomes after adjusting for covariates). DVT = deep vessel thrombosis, PE = pulmonary embolism.
Fig 2.
Prevalence of Selected Physical Health Complications by Time After Injury.
Statistically significant difference between groups, using chi-square or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate, p < 0.05 were *early amputation versus late amputation, †early amputation versus limb salvage, and ‡late amputation versus limb salvage. (Table 3 shows where injury group was significantly associated with outcomes after adjusting for covariates).

Summary Results for Overall (4 Year) Regression Models for Psychological Disorders.
Fig 3.
Prevalence of Selected Psychological Disorders by Time After Injury.
Statistically significant difference between groups, using chi-square or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate, p < 0.05 were *early amputation versus late amputation, †early amputation versus limb salvage, and ‡late amputation versus limb salvage. (Table 4 shows where injury group was significantly associated with outcomes after adjusting for covariates). PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder.
