Underutilization of guideline-recommended therapy in patients 80 years and older with peripheral artery diseases

While overall guideline-recommended outpatient treatment is low, patients 80 years and older are less likely to receive both, leaving age-related health inequalities a challenge of our future.PMID:37867477 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001094
