Key result
Internal carotid stenosis (OR 262.17) independently predicted cardiovascular mortality, while mean ankle-brachial index (OR 0.15) predicted all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Does the assessment of ankle-brachial index and carotid stenosis predict mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease?
Odds Ratio: 262.17
Ankle-brachial index and carotid artery ultrasound have independent prognostic value for mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.
Bosevski et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease (n=265). Ankle-brachial index and carotid stenosis was evaluated on Cardiovascular mortality (OR 262.17). Internal carotid stenosis (OR 262.17) independently predicted cardiovascular mortality, while mean ankle-brachial index (OR 0.15) predicted all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.
