description Care fragmentation (CF) is a known risk factor for unplanned readmission, morbidity, and mortality after surgery. The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of CF on outcomes of major lower extremity amputation for peripheral vascular disease. Health-care Cost and Utilization Project Database for NY (2016) and MD/FL (2016–2017) were queried using International Classification of Diseases 10thedition to identify patients who underwent above the knee-, through the knee-, and below the knee-amputation for peripheral vascular disease. Patients with CF were identified as those with admissions to ≥2 hospitals during the study period. We compared the postamputation outcomes of mortality, readmission rate, length of stay (LOS) and hospital charges. We identified a total of 13,749 encounters of 2,742 patients who underwent major lower extremity amputations. There were 1,624 (59.2%) patients with CF. Patients with CF were younger (68.4 years old vs. 69.7 years old, P = 0.005), with higher Charlson Comorbidity Indices (4.4 vs. 4.1, P
