One-Year Health Status Outcomes Following Early Invasive and Noninvasive Treatment in Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lifestyle changes and medications are recommended as the first line of treatment for claudication, with revascularization considered for treatment-resistant symptoms, based on patients' preferences. Real-world evidence comparing health status outcomes of early invasive with noninvasive management strategies is lacking.

Methods

In the international multicenter prospective observational PORTRAIT (Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories) registry, disease-specific health status was assessed by the Peripheral Artery Questionnaire in patients with new-onset or worsening claudication at presentation and 3, 6, and 12 months later. One-year health status trajectories were compared by early revascu
