Key result
Symptomatic PAD incidence dropped ~55% in UK primary care from 2000 to 2014.
Cohort
Absolute Event Rate: 17.3% vs 38.6%
While the incidence and prevalence of symptomatic PAD in the UK have decreased significantly from 2000 to 2014, a substantial proportion of patients still do not receive guideline-recommended secondary preventive therapies.

Declining symptomatic PAD burden in UK primary care may reflect better risk factor control; leaves open whether secondary prevention gaps persist.
Soriano et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). Calendar year (2014 vs 2000) vs. Year 2000 was evaluated on Incidence of symptomatic PAD per 10,000 person-years. Between 2000 and 2014, the incidence of symptomatic PAD in UK primary care decreased from 38.6 to 17.3 per 10,000 person-years, and prevalence decreased from 3.4% to 2.4%.
