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-month LTPA and WRPA. Multivariable linear regression examined the association between 12-month change in PA with a 12-month change in PAQ. A total of 196of 656 patients (29.9%) underwent invasive treatment. There was no association between treatment and 12-month LTPA (p = 0.77) or WRPA (p = 0.26). Compared with being persistently sedentary, increased LTPA was associated with increased PAQ SS (OR 11.1 95% CI [4.4 to 17.7], p <0.01). In conclusion, there was no association between invasive treatment and physical activity at follow up despite a greater health status change in the invasive group. As increased physical activity was associated with more health status gains than remaining sedentary, additional ways to improve physical activity levels could potentially improve PAD outcomes.

Project description:ObjectiveA physically active lifestyle reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and functional impairment in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). There are limited data on the patterns of physical activity in patients with PAD compared between countries.MethodsSelf reported physical activity (sedentary vs. not) was obtained at enrolment, 3, 6, and 12 months in the US and Netherlands' cohorts of the Patient-centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories (PORTRAIT) registry of patients with new or worsening claudication. Multivariable repeated measures using modified Poisson regression analysis compared the proportion of sedentary participants over time between countries to identify factors that attenuate intercountry differences.ResultsOf 1 098 participants, 743 (67.7%) and 355 (32.3%) were recruited from the USA and the Netherlands respectively. Compared with the Netherlands, participants from the US were older (mean age 68.6 vs. 65.3 years; p < .001), more obese (41.3% vs. 20.5%; p < .001), and more likely to be female (41.3% vs. 31.4%; p = .002). There were fewer current smokers (30.1% vs. 52.8%; p < .001) and supervised exercise referrals (1.6% vs. 63.9%; p < .001) in the US compared with the Netherlands. US participants were more sedentary at baseline (43.7% vs. 34.1%; p < .001). Sedentary behaviour decreased after three months in both countries, then diverged with an increase in sedentary participants in the USA. Risk of sedentary behaviour was significantly greater in the USA compared with the Netherlands at 12 months, after adjustment of sociodemographic, lifestyle factors, and comorbidities (relative risk [RR] 1.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-2.25; p = .020) but was attenuated after accounting for referral to supervised exercise (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.67-2.16; p = .54).ConclusionReferral to supervised exercise was key in explaining the observed difference in the physical activity levels between patients with PAD in the USA and the Netherlands. Further promotion of supervised exercise for PAD may improve physical activity in patients with PAD and modify cultural norms of inactivity in the US.

Project description:BackgroundOne-fifth of the patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) experience depression and stress. Depression and stress may impact patients' abilities to be physically active, a key recommendation for supporting overall PAD management to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. We aimed to study interrelationships between 1-year longitudinal trajectories of depression, stress, and physical activity following a PAD diagnosis.MethodsPatients with new or worsening PAD symptoms enrolled at 10 US PORTRAIT study (Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories) vascular specialty clinics (CT, LA, MI, MO, NC, OH, and RI) were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months between June 2, 2011 and December 3, 2015. Depressive symptoms were measured with the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire, perceived stress with the 4-item Perceived Stress Scale and physical activity with items from the INTERHEART study. Path analysis was used to examine the longitudinal relationship between depression and physical activity and perceived stress and physical activity.ResultsA total of 766 patients were included (mean age of 68.2 [±9.4] years; 57.7% male). Overall, 17.8% reported significant depressive symptoms, 36.0% experienced increased perceived stress, and 44.1% were sedentary upon PAD diagnosis. A decrease in physical activity preceded a rise in subsequent depressive symptoms (β ranges -0.45 [95% CI, -0.80 to -0.09]; -0.81 [95% CI, -1.19 to 0.42]) over the course of 1 year. Low physical activity scores at the initial presentation were followed by high perceived stress at 3 months (β=-0.44 [95% CI, -0.80 to -0.07]).ConclusionsIn symptomatic PAD, a decrease in physical activity was followed by an increased risk of depressive symptoms and perceived stress at subsequent intervals over the course of 1 year following PAD diagnosis and treatment. Integrated behavioral health approaches for PAD, addressing physical activity and managing depression or distress, are indicated as collective PAD treatment goals.

Project description:IntroductionPeripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a marker of cardiovascular morbidity, causing disability, loss of mobility and poor quality of life, manifesting clinically in the form of intermittent claudication (IC). Physical exercise increases the distance walked and improves quality of life. The aim of our study will be increased walking distance prolonging the time of onset of pain in patients with symptomatic PAD (IC).Methods and analysisThis study will be performed in Mataró Hospital's vascular surgery service and School of Health Sciences, TecnoCampus. This population comes from 15 primary healthcare centres ofNorth Barcelona, Spain (450 000 inhabitants).This study will be a four-group parallel, longitudinal, randomised controlled trial, blind to analysis.The main primary outcome of this study will be the improvement in pain-free walking distance. Others primary objectives are and improvement in functional status, quality of life and Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI). Secondary outcomes will be the analysis of cardiorespiratory fitness, evaluation of muscle fitness, determine the maintenance of primary objectives at 6 and 12 months.We will be included 124 patients (31 per group). The changes of the outcome (Barthel, SF-12, VascQOL-6, ABI) of the three intervention groups vs the control group at 3, 6 and 12 months will be compared, both continuously (linear regression) and categorically (logistic regression). A person who has not performed at least 75% of the training will be considered to have not completed the intervention.Ethics and disseminationThe study will be conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki . It was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Research Institute Primary Health IDIAP Jordi Gol (20/035 P),Barcelona 6 October 2020. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients before the start of the study. We will disseminate results through academic papers and conference presentations.Trial registration numberNCT04578990.

Project description:Background There are limited data on health status instruments in patients with peripheral artery disease and cardiovascular and limb events. We evaluated the relationship between health status changes and cardiovascular and limb events. Methods and Results In an analysis of the EUCLID (Examining Use of Ticagrelor in Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease) trial, we examined the characteristics of 13 801 patients by tertile of health status instrument scores collected in the trial (EuroQol 5-Dimensions [EQ-5D], EQ visual analog scale [VAS], and peripheral artery questionnaire). We assessed the association between the baseline health status measurements and major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events, and lower-extremity revascularization procedures during trial follow-up and the association between 12-month health status change scores and subsequent end points during follow-up. There were 13 217 (95%) patients with EQ-5D scores, 13 533 (98%) with VAS scores, and 4431 (32%) with peripheral artery questionnaire scores. Patients in the lowest baseline EQ-5D tertile (0 to <0.69) were more likely to be female with severe claudication compared with the highest tertile (0.79-1.0; P<0.01). Patients in the lowest VAS (0-60) and peripheral artery questionnaire (0-49) tertiles had lower ankle-brachial indices compared with the highest tertiles (80-100 and 76-108, respectively; P<0.01). There was a significant association between baseline EQ-5D, VAS, and peripheral artery questionnaire scores and adjusted major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events, and lower-extremity revascularization (P<0.05). Improved EQ-5D and VAS scores over 12 months were associated with reduced risk of subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events or lower-extremity revascularization (all P<0.01). Conclusions Although health status instruments are rarely used in clinical practice, these measures are associated with outcomes, including major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events, and lower-extremity revascularization. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between changes in these instruments, revascularization, and outcomes.
