Objective: Determine the risk factors for lower limb amputation in patients with diabetic foot at the Adolfo Guevara Velasco National Hospital in Cusco, 2020-2023. Materials and Method: It was an observational, analytical and retrospective study, using a cohort design through the review of medical records at the Adolfo Guevara Velazco National Hospital - Cusco from the period 2020 to 2023. The sample calculation was 130 participants, but a rate was obtained 10% loss. From a total of 143 participants, a data collection sheet was used to obtain information from medical record. Results: The factors associated with lower limb amputation were found to be the only significant association: having a history of osteomyelitis with p < 0.001, which when calculating its HR was 3.08 with 95% CI [1.77 – 5.36]. Conclusions: The factor associated with amputation is a history of osteomyelitis.
