Young Women with PAD are at High Risk of Cardiovascular Complications

Abstract Objectives Prognostic research in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is scarce and determinants of outcome are mainly studied in males. The current management of PAD in women is based on evidence from, at best, mixed populations. We therefore assessed risk and prognostic factor...

Description
Summary:Abstract Objectives Prognostic research in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is scarce and determinants of outcome are mainly studied in males. The current management of PAD in women is based on evidence from, at best, mixed populations. We therefore assessed risk and prognostic factors in 313 men and 169 women from the Dutch Bypass Oral anticoagulants or Aspirin Study of whom long-term follow-up data were available. Method The primary composite outcome event was vascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or major amputation during 5 years of follow-up. Variables with a p -value
