Key result
PAD mortality in Croatia rises ~3% from 2011 to 2020, with significant regional variations.
Why the study?
Croatia has a high cardiovascular burden among Mediterranean countries, but lacks systematic epidemiological studies on mortality dynamics of peripheral artery disease.
Observational
PAD mortality in Croatia increased from 2011 to 2020, with significant regional and sex-based differences, highlighting the need for better systematic screening and registries.
May signal rising PAD burden in Croatia; leaves open whether registries or screening improve outcomes.

Biloglav et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Peripheral artery disease. Age-standardized mortality rates for peripheral artery disease in Croatia increased by 3.09% in men and 2.94% in women between 2011 and 2020, with significant regional variations.
