Analysis of factors influencing health-related quality of life in patients with femoropopliteal atherosclerotic occlusive disease treated with drug-coated balloons 12 months after surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with femoropopliteal (FP) occlusive disease encounter considerable obstacles concerning health-related quality of life (HRQoL), which serve as the primary objectives of their interventions. While Drug-Coated Balloons (DCBs) present potential advantages, they are not constitute definitive cures. There is a paucity of research concerning postoperative HRQoL in these patients. This study evaluates HRQoL 12 months post-DCB treatment and examines influencing risk factors through a multicenter cross-sectional study.

Methods

This retrospective, multicenter study involved 1012 patients with FP occlusive disease who underwent DCB at 8 vascular centers from August 2021 to December 2023. Data on initial hospitalizations and 12-month follow-up were gathered, and logi
