Physical Activity After Treatment for Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT: The association of invasive versus noninvasive treatment and physical activity level in patients with claudication remains unclear. Participants with claudication were enrolled from US vascular clinics. Treatment was categorized as invasive (surgical or endovascular treatment <3 months of initial visit) versus noninvasive. Self-reported leisure time (LTPA) and work related physical activity (WRPA) (sedentary, mild, moderate/strenuous), and health status (peripheral artery questionnaire summary score [PAQ SS]) was measured at baseline and 12 months. Change in PA was also categorized as increased, decreased, persistent sedentary [reference] and persistent active based on activity status at baseline and 12 months. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the association of treatment with 12
