Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of death in Latin America, yet mortality specifically attributed to diabetes with peripheral circulatory complications has not been compared across countries of the region. Methods: Ecological time-series study of deaths recorded between 2000 and 2023 in Mexico, Colombia and Chile with underlying cause coded as diabetes with peripheral circulatory complications (ICD-10 E10.5, E11.5, E12.5, E13.5 and E14.5), using the WHO Mortality Database and World Bank population estimates. Results: The three countries recorded 55,871 deaths. Crude rates rose before 2018 in Mexico and Colombia and fell in Chile. Males predominated in Mexico and Chile, whereas females predominated in Colombia, and deaths concentrated at ages 65 and over. Conclusions: Mortality from diabetes with peripheral circulatory complications followed divergent trends and distinct age and sex profiles across the three countries, which should guide risk stratification and foot care planning.
