Association of Perceived Stress Levels With Long-term Mortality in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as stress, that could inform the design of peripheral artery disease (PAD) management strategies is critical for reducing the risk of mortality. Few studies have examined the association of self-perceived stress with outcomes in patients with PAD.

Objective

To examine the association of high levels of self-perceived stress with mortality in patients with PAD.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study analyzed data from the registry of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories (PORTRAIT) study, a multicenter study that enrolled patients with new or worsening symptoms of PAD who presented to 16 subspecialty clinics across the US, t
