Quality Indicators in Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease Treatment: A Systematic Review.

CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed a lack of published evidence based quality indicators concerning invasive treatment for PAOD in the literature. An additional 31 indicators from the databases of professional societies and organisations have not been incorporated in prior guidelines. Interestingly, no indicator related to patient reported outcomes could be identified from either high quality sources or grey literature. Further research and harmonisation of different quality indicators is needed to enhance their evidence and subsequently improve patient centred decision making on invasive treatment.
