Indonesia obtained mortality ulcer/gangrene diabetes ranged
between 17-32% while the amputation rate between 15-30%.
Patients died post-amputation was 14.8%, increased to 37% over
three years. The mean age of the patients were only 23.8 months
post-amputation. As many as 50% of amputations in patients with
