Background In a previous review, we reported that ankle brachial index (ABI)≤ 0.90 could
reliably identify patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Since then, more studies have …

The ankle—brachial index (ABI) is a simple, inexpensive diagnostic test for peripheral artery
disease (PAD). However, it has shown variable accuracy for identification of significant …

Background The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the sensitivity,
specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+, LR-) of the ankle-brachial index …

We evaluated 158 legs from 79 consecutive patients who had undergone both ankle-
brachial index (ABI) measurements and angiography for claudication symptoms between …

Background and aims We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ankle brachial index
(ABI) and toe brachial index (TBI) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in a wide spectrum of …

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disease that is diagnosed with
a screening test called the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI). Different methods of ABI have been …

Background. The ankle–brachial index (ABI), ie the ratio of the ankle to brachial systolic
blood pressure, is the golden standard for the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) …

The reliability of ankle—brachial index (ABI) measurements performed by different observer
groups in primary care has not yet been determined. The aims of the study were to provide …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the utility of ankle-brachial index (ABI) in screening for
unrecognized peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Although PAD is a consistent predictor of …

Background The ankle brachial index (ABI) is widely used in clinical practice as a non-
invasive method to detect the presence and severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) …
