Non-Traumatic Lower Extremity Amputations by Congressional District “Heat Map”

The interactive map below illustrates lower limb amputations per 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries per year, by state and by Congressional district.

The three tabs across the top enable the user to see national representations, state representations, and data in fully accessible table format, including highest to lowest rate rankings by district. The user may view rates for 2017 or 2018 by accessing the “Reporting Year” drop down.

The current data goes through 2018 as the next data set takes us into the COVID pandemic. Given the pandemic had a huge impact on care-seeking behavior from patients, the map authors do not include those years. The map will be updated with contemporary data when available.
