Decrease in ankle-brachial index over time and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hemodialysis
SC Chen, WC Liu, JM Chang, JC Huang… - The American journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
Introduction Abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) is associated with increased morbidity and
mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, whether the decrease in ABI over time carries
the prognostic value is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess whether the decrease
in ABI over time was a good predictor of poor cardiovascular (CV) prognosis in hemodialysis
patients. Methods This study enrolled 234 routine hemodialysis patients and 173 patients
completed the follow-up. The ABI was measured by an ABI-form device at baseline and at …
