Core Tip	This study presents new knowledge regarding the use of Surgical Apgar Score (SAS) in dysvascular lower extremity amputations (LEA) surgery. There is a significant increase in complications with a low SAS after LEA surgery. This is even more pronounced when the transfemoral amputation (TFA) sub-group is analyzed separately. Thus, for a TFA patient with a SAS < 7, the odds of a major complication or death is four times greater than for a patient with a SAS ≥ 7. ROC analysis confirms the discriminatory power of the SAS approach among the TFA patients. However, the SAS model proved to be of no prognostic value in the transtibial amputation group.
