Latent Health Status Trajectories in Individuals With New or Worsening Claudication Symptoms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While peripheral artery disease care for claudication aims to improve health status (symptoms, physical function, and quality of life), health status trajectories remain unclear. We aimed to determine health status trajectories and explore baseline factors associated with treatment nonresponsiveness.

Methods

Data were derived from the PORTRAIT (Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories) registry of patients with claudication symptoms presenting to vascular specialty clinics across the United States, Australia, and Netherlands. The Peripheral Artery Questionnaire was used to measure the health status at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months. Latent trajectory modeling enabled the classification of
