Schematic illustration of multistate model for limb loss. Transition to limb-loss state occurs with incidence rate. Mortality rate transitions persons without limb loss from the no–limb-loss state to death, and the transition from limb loss to death is a function of mortality rate and the relative risk of mortality associated with limb loss. Mortality in the limb-loss state is the relative risk multiplied by the background mortality in the no–limb-loss state.
