The aim of the present study was to clarify the characteristics of Japanese critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients and analyze the rates of real-world mortality and amputation-free survival (AFS) in all patients with Fontaine stage IV CLI who were treated with/without revascularization therapy by an intra-hospital multidisciplinary care team. All consecutive patients who presented with CLI at Showa University Fujigaoka Hospital between April 2008 and March 2014 were prospectively registered. The intra-hospital committee consisted of cardiologists, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, diabetologists, nephrologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and vascular technologists. The primary endpoint of this study was all-cause mortality and AFS during the follow-up period. The present study included 145 patients with Fontaine stage IV CLI. The mean age was 76.5 ± 10.2 years. The all-cause mortality rate during the follow-up period (15.5 ± 16.1 months) was 21.4 %. The AFS rate during the follow-up period (14.1 ± 16.4 months) was 58.6 %. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis found that age >75 years and hemodialysis were significantly associated with all-cause mortality; and that age >75 years, Rutherford 6, and wound infection were significantly associated with AFS. A multidisciplinary approach and comprehensive care may improve the outcomes and optimize the collaborative treatment of CLI patients. However, all-cause mortality remained high in patients with Fontaine stage IV CLI and early referral to a hospital that can provide specialized treatment for CLI, before the occurrence of major tissue loss or infection, is necessary to avoid primary amputation.
