Systematic Review
What is the diagnostic accuracy of the ankle-brachial pressure index compared with Doppler arterial waveforms for detecting peripheral arterial disease?
This systematic review evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of the ankle-brachial pressure index compared to Doppler arterial waveforms for detecting peripheral arterial disease.
Systematic review yields no quantitative comparison; leaves open relative diagnostic accuracy of ankle-brachial index versus Doppler waveforms.
GENERAL PURPOSE: To present the results of a research study evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of the ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) compared with that of Doppler arterial waveforms (DAWs) to detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). TARGET AUDIENCE: This continuing education activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses with an interest in skin and wound care. LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OUTCOMES: After completing this continuing education activity, the participant will:1. Summarize the evidence the authors considered when comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the ABPI with that of Doppler arterial waveforms to detect PAD.2. Select the characteristics of the participants in the studies the authors analyzed.3. Identify the results of the authors' study comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the ABPI with that of Doppler arterial waveforms to detect PAD.4. Distinguish the authors' conclusions about the advantages of using Doppler arterial waveforms to detect PAD.

Kashetsky et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) vs. Doppler arterial waveforms (DAWs) was evaluated on Diagnostic accuracy to detect peripheral arterial disease. The diagnostic accuracy of the ankle-brachial pressure index was compared with Doppler arterial waveforms for detecting peripheral arterial disease, though no quantitative results were reported.
