A systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

ABSTRACT: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) causes significant morbidity with profound negative effects on health-related quality of life. As the prevalence of peripheral artery disease and diabetes continue to rise in our aging population, the public health impact of CLTI has escalated.
