Patient knowledge and preferences for peripheral artery disease treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shared medical decision making requires patients' understanding of their disease and its treatment options. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition for which preference-sensitive treatments are available, but for which little is known about patients' knowledge and treatment preferences as it relates to specific treatment goals.

Methods

In a prospective, multicenter registry that involved patients with PAD experiencing claudication, the PORTRAIT Knowledge and Preferences Survey was administered at 1 year. It asks questions about PAD treatment choices, symptom relief options, disease management, and secondary prevention. PAD treatment preferences were also queried, and patients ranked 10 PAD treatment goals (1-10 Likert scale; 10 being most important).
