In-patient characteristics of peripheral artery disease in Germany

Conclusions: Male PAD patients were twice as likely to be admitted for in-patient treatment despite equal PAD prevalence in the general population. Among in-patient cases, supply with invasive therapy did not relevantly differ by sex, however is strongly reduced in CLTI. CLTI is a major risk factor of adverse short-term outcomes, whereas female sex was associated with lower risk of in-patient amputation and/or death.PMID:37964740 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001099
