Abstract
Determines whether critical leg ischemia (CLI) is an independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, paying attention to the confounding effect of other prognostic factors. Reliability of chronic CLI as an independent predictor of overall and cardiovascular mortality; Comparison of the predictive values of the presence of critical ischemia and a low ankle-brachial blood pressure index.
