Routine screening for peripheral artery disease in type 2 diabetes patients using ankle-brachial index (ABI) enhances early diagnosis and intervention.
Does Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurement improve the detection of peripheral artery disease compared to clinical assessment in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Routine screening using Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) provides a more objective and effective method for early detection of peripheral artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to clinical symptoms alone.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
There is a high prevalence of peripheral artery disease among people with T2DM in Calabar. The use of ABI is of great value in the detection of PAD, as evidenced by a more objective assessment of PAD compared to intermittent claudication and reduced/absent pedal pulses. Routine screening of PLWDM for PAD using ABI would enhance early diagnosis and intervention.
