Association of social support and health status outcomes in peripheral artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A critical goal in the care of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) is to optimize their health status; that is, their symptoms, function, and quality of life. Social support has been proposed to be a predictor of disease-specific health status in patients with PAD. However, the prevalence of low perceived social support, the association with health status outcomes, and the interaction with other biopsychosocial variables, is unknown. Our aim was to assess the association of baseline perceived social support with health status at 12 months in patients with PAD.

Methods

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Related Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories (PORTRAIT) registry, which enrolled patients with PAD in the United State
