This study aimed to investigate for potential "missed opportunities" within primary care. This was a population based cohort study, using the UK's Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). Patients undergoing a major amputation for CLTI between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2016 were included. Primary care consultation and patient clinical data within the one year period prior to amputation were extracted from the CPRD. Dates of last primary care consultation and cardiovascular assessment prior to amputation were evaluated. Timings of latest cardiovascular assessments were stratified into "recent" (7-90 days before amputation) and "late" (> 91 days). In total, 3 260 patients were included. In the year prior to amputation, patients attended a median of 19 (range 9-32) primary care consultations; h Greater emphasis on the medical management of peripheral arterial disease and identifying cardiovascular risk factors in patients who may not fit the "at risk" stereotype, are also required. Missed opportunities for timely recognition potentially exist and may be related to age, deprivation, and ethnicity. Further work is required to investigate these factors, as well as individual amputations to identify the causes precipitating amputation. Greater emphasis on the medical management of peripheral arterial disease and identifying cardiovascular risk factors in patients who may not fit the "at risk" stereotype, are also required.Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungal species that mainly belong to Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium and Alternaria, which can grow in a variety of crops including cereals, oilseeds and fruits. Consequently, their prevalence in foods and by-products not only affects human and an
