Major health disparities in PAD/CLTI diagnoses in people with diabetes is driven by socioeconomic deprivation.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:56:31 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of the sensitivity and specificity of the toe-brachial index for detecting peripheral artery disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24870 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:05:13 AEDT ]]> Diagnostic accuracy of the postexercise ankle-brachial index for detecting peripheral artery disease in suspected claudicants with and without diabetes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42604 20% compared to resting ABI, an ABI value of ≤0.90 postexercise, or a reduction in systolic ankle pressure of >30 mmHg postexercise. This retrospective study used colour duplex ultrasound (CDU) as the reference standard. In 278 limbs (whole group), the resting ABI had an overall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.71, with the postexercise ABI yielding a similar diagnostic accuracy of AUC 0.72. In the non-diabetes group (n=171), the resting ABI had an overall AUC of 0.74 and the postexercise ABI had a similar AUC of 0.76. In the diabetes group (n=107), overall accuracy was reduced compared to the non-diabetes group, with the resting ABI having an overall AUC of 0.65 and the postexercise ABI yielding a similar accuracy with an AUC of 0.64. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the postexercise ABI for diagnosing PAD was not greatly improved compared to resting ABI. Given the lower overall diagnostic accuracy in the diabetes group, both the resting and the postexercise ABI results in diabetes populations should be interpreted with caution. There is a risk of undiagnosed disease if relying on these results alone to determine lower limb vascular status.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 15:54:26 AEST ]]>
