Association of Age with Mortality Rate after Femoropopliteal Endovascular Therapy for Intermittent Claudication

CONCLUSION: Mortality risk increased with age, but the risk ratio relative to the matched citizens decreased with age. Younger patients had a higher mortality risk relative to the matched citizens, whereas patients aged ≥ 85 years had a lower mortality risk relative to the matched citizens. Younger patients were more likely to accumulate cardiovascular risk factors.PMID:33642442 | DOI:10.5551/jat.62356
