Toward Uniform Case Identification Criteria in Observational Studies on Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Scoping Review. Ann Vasc Surg 2024; 106:71-79. [PMID: 38615752 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2024.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is commonly applied for symptoms related to atherosclerotic obstructions in the lower extremity, though its clinical manifestations range from an abnormal ankle-brachial index to critical limb ischemia. Subsequently, management and prognosis of PAD vary widely with the disease stage. A critical aspect is how this variation is addressed in administrative database-based studies that rely on diagnosis codes for case identification. The objective of this scoping review is to inventory the identification strategies used in studies on PAD that rely on administrative databases, to map the pros and cons of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes applied, and to propose a first outline for a consensus framework for case identification in administrative databases. METHODS Registry-based reports published between 2010 and 2021 were identified through a systematic PubMed search. Studies were subcategorized on the basis of the expressed study focus: claudication, critical limb ischemia, or general peripheral arterial disease, and the ICD code(s) applied for case identification mapped. RESULTS Ninety studies were identified, of which 36 (40%) did not specify the grade of PAD studied. Forty-nine (54%) articles specified PAD grade studied. Five (6%) articles specified different PAD subgroups in methods and baseline demographics, but not in further analyses. Mapping of the ICD codes applied for case identification for studies that specified the PAD grade studied indicated a remarkable heterogeneity, overlap, and inconsistency. CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of registry-based studies on PAD fail to define the study focus. In addition, inconsistent strategies are used for PAD case identification in studies that report a focus. These findings challenge study validity and interfere with inter-study comparison. This scoping review provides a first initiative for a consensus framework for standardized case selection in administrative studies on PAD. It is anticipated that more uniform coding will improve study validity and facilitate inter-study comparisons.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with high rates of readmission following endovascular interventions and contributes to a significant hospital readmission burden. Quality metrics like hospital readmissions affect hospital performance, but must adjust to local trends. Our primary goal was to evaluate risk factors and readmission rates post-percutaneous peripheral intervention in a US-Mexico border city, at a single tertiary university hospital. We performed a retrospective review of patients with PAD undergoing first time peripheral intervention from July 2015 to June 2020. Among 212 patients, 58% were readmitted with median 235-day follow-up (inter-quartile range (IQR) 42-924); 35.3% of readmissions occurred within 30 days, and 30.2% of those were within 7 days. Median time to readmission was 62 days. Active smokers had 84% higher risk of readmission (hazard ratio (HR) 1.84, 95% CI 1.23-2.74, P < .01). Other significant factors noted were insurance status-Medicaid or uninsured (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.22-3.09), prior amputation (HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.13-2.54), heart failure, both preserved (HR 4.35, 95% CI 2.07-9.16) and reduced ejection fraction (HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.14-3.10). Below the knee, interventions were less likely to be readmitted (adjusted HR .64, 95% CI 0.42-.96). Readmission rates were unrelated to medication adherence.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Sex-Based Disparities in Patients with Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia Undergoing Revascularization. Ann Vasc Surg 2023; 95:317-329. [PMID: 37075836 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2023.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to describe the prognostic implications of sex on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing interventions for chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). METHODS Studies were systematically searched across 7 databases from inception to August 25, 2021 and rerun on October 11, 2022. Studies focusing on patients with CLTI undergoing open surgery, endovascular treatment (EVT), or hybrid procedures were included if sex-based differences were associated with a clinical outcome. Two independent reviewers screened studies for inclusion, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Primary outcomes included inpatient mortality, major adverse limb events (MALE), and amputation-free survival (AFS). Meta-analyses were performed using random effects models and reported pooled odds ratio (pOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS A total of 57 studies were included in the analysis. A meta-analysis of 6 studies demonstrated that female sex was associated with statistically higher inpatient mortality compared to male sex undergoing open surgery or EVT (pOR, 1.17; 95% CI: 1.11-1.23). Female sex also demonstrated a trend toward increased limb loss in those undergoing EVT (pOR, 1.15; 95% CI: 0.91-1.45) and open surgery (pOR 1.46; 95% CI: 0.84-2.55). Female sex also had a trend toward higher MALE (pOR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.92-1.21) in 6 studies. Finally, female sex had a trend toward worse AFS (pOR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.70-1.03) in 8 studies. CONCLUSIONS Female sex was significantly associated with higher inpatient mortality and a trend toward higher MALE following revascularization. Female sex trended toward worse AFS. The reasons for these disparities are likely multifaceted on patient, provider, and systemic levels and should be explored to identify solutions for decreasing these health inequities across this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
Focused ultrasound (FUS) has emerged as a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality for treating atherosclerotic arterial disease. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a noninvasive and precise modality that generates high temperatures at specific target sites within tissues, has shown promising results in reducing plaque burden and improving vascular function. While low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) operates at lower energy levels, promoting mild hyperthermia and stimulating tissue repair processes. This review article provides an overview of the current state of HIFU and LIFU in treating atherosclerosis. It focuses primarily on the therapeutic potential of HIFU due to its higher penetration and ability to achieve atheroma disruption. The review summarizes findings from animal models and human trials, covering the effects of FUS on arterial plaque and arterial wall thrombolysis in carotid, coronary and peripheral arteries. This review also highlights the potential benefits of focused ultrasound, including its noninvasiveness, precise targeting, and real-time monitoring capabilities, making it an attractive approach for the treatment of atherosclerosis and emphasizes the need for further investigations to optimize FUS parameters and advance its clinical application in managing atherosclerotic arterial disease.

Implementation of Transitional Care Planning is Associated with Reduced Readmission Rates in Patients Undergoing Lower Extremity Bypass Surgery for Peripheral Arterial Disease. Ann Vasc Surg 2022; 84:28-39. [PMID: 35271961 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2022.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients undergoing lower extremity bypasses (LEB) are at high risk of developing post-discharge complications requiring readmission. Health systems have developed several strategies to mitigate this risk. One such measure is developing comprehensive Transition Care Planning (TCP), which includes phone calls to patients after being discharged from the hospital. Our study aimed to assess short-term readmission, mortality, and amputation rates of patients who participated in TCP by completing at least one post-discharge follow-up phone call after undergoing LEB for revascularization for peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS A retrospective review was completed for patients who underwent LEB surgery between January 2010 and January 2020 to treat PAD at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Immediate discharge follow-up was done via telephone calls using a standardized script. Patients were then divided into two groups, those who did not have a successful follow-up call (Group I) and those who had at least one successful follow-up call within seven days after discharge (Group II). Univariate analysis was used to compare preoperative demographics, intraoperative variables, and postoperative outcomes. The probability of Readmission and risk factors contributing to it were computed using multiple stepwise forward regression analyses. Epidemiological analysis was done to evaluate the risk of readmission in the group receiving post-discharge follow-up calls. RESULTS A total of 457 patients underwent LEB from 2010 to 2020 and qualified for inclusion in the study. Among these patients, 126 (27.6%) did not have a successful post-discharge follow-up call (Group I), whereas 331 (72.4%) patients did complete a successful call (Group II). The mean age of patients was 66.7 years. There were no significant differences in preoperative baseline patient characteristics or intraoperative factors. Patients who completed a successful call had lower readmission rates within thirty days of the operation (8.8% vs. 17.5%, p=0.008), and this was sustained in multivariate analysis (AOR: 0.18, [CI: 0.05-0.66], p=0.009). However, no differences were observed for thirty-day mortality (Group-I: 3.2% vs. Group-II: 1.2%, p=0.152) or amputation (Group-I: 9.6% vs. Group II 5.9%, p=0.162). Among those who had a successful call, patients with a history of smoking (AOR: 4.05 [CI: 1.21, 17.12] p=0.025], diabetes mellitus (AOR: 3.42 [CI:1.35,8.7] p=0.01) and myocardial infarction (AOR: 7.15 [CI:1.76, 20.1] p=0.006) had much higher chances of readmission. Risk analysis using epidemiological methods showed that by receiving a call, the risk of readmission could be dropped to half (RR: 0.50 [CI: 0.30, 0.84]), with an attributable risk reduction of -8.7% (CI:-15.9%,-1.4%). CONCLUSIONS This single-institution retrospective study demonstrates the importance of immediate discharge follow-up phone calls in patients who undergo open lower extremity revascularization to reduce thirty-day readmissions. Our analysis showed patients who received immediate follow-up phone calls were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital. The development of reliable and efficient systems to enhance immediate discharge follow-up in vascular surgery patients is pivotal to improving quality of care, preventing readmissions, and reducing healthcare costs.

Outcomes and Costs of Open and Endovascular Revascularisation for Chronic Limb Ischaemia in an Australian Cohort. Heart Lung Circ 2021; 30:1552-1561. [PMID: 34045140 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2021.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2020] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The costs of open and endovascular revascularisation to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) have not been fully established. This study examined the costs of both the index admission and any readmissions to hospital within 30 days of discharge for people having revascularisation at a single centre in Australia. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Eligible participants were those presenting with chronic limb ischaemia requiring revascularisation between 2002 and 2017. Generalised linear modelling was used to estimate mean (95% confidence interval [95% CI]) hospital costs for the index and readmission hospital treatments. RESULTS A total of 302 participants presenting with intermittent claudication (n=219; 72.5%) or chronic limb threatening ischaemia (n=83; 27.5%) treated by open (n=116; 38.4%) or endovascular (n=186; 61.6%) revascularisation were included. Forty-eight (48) (15.9%) participants were readmitted within 30 days of discharge from their index admission. The mean estimated index admission hospital cost was AUD$13,827 (95% CI, $11,935-$15,818) per person. This cost was significantly greater for open as compared to endovascular revascularisation (p<0.001). The mean estimated hospital cost was AUD$15,324 ($10,944-$19,966) per person readmitted. When comparing participants treated before and after 2010, the total hospital costs decreased, mainly due to decreased lengths of hospital stay for open procedures. CONCLUSIONS In this study the hospital costs were less for endovascular than open revascularisation of chronic limb ischaemia. Costs decreased over time. Readmission is an important contributor to the overall costs of peripheral revascularisation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this observational cross-sectional study was to analyse the spatial distribution of major lower limb amputation (MLLA) rates and associate them to socioeconomic, demographic and public healthcare access-related variables in the State of Paraná, Brazil, from 2012 to 2017. METHOD Data on MLLA, revascularisation surgeries, diagnostic exams and healthcare coverage were obtained from the Brazilian Public Hospital Information System. Socioeconomic data were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Spatial autocorrelation of the MLLA rates was tested using Moran's I method. Multivariate spatial regression models using ordinary least squares regression (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were used to identify the variables significantly correlated with MLLA. RESULTS A total of 5270 MLLA were included in the analysis. Mean MLLA rates were 24.32 (±18.22)/100 000 inhabitants, showing a positive global spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I=0.66; p<0.001). Queen contiguity matrix demonstrates that MLLA rates ranged from 7.6 to 46.6/100 000 with five large clusters of high MLLA rates. OLS showed that four of the nine studied variables presented significant spatial correlation with MLLA rates. Colour Doppler ultrasound showed a negative association (p<0.001), while revascularisation surgeries and illiteracy showed a positive correlation (p<0.01). GWR presented the best model (adjusted R2=0.77) showing that the predictors differentially affect the MLLA rates geographically. CONCLUSION The high MLLA rates in some regions of the state are influenced by the high rate of illiteracy and low utilisation rate of colour Doppler, indicating a social problem and difficulty in accessing health. On the other hand, the high rates of revascularisation surgeries are related to higher MLLA rates, possibly due to delayed access to specialised hospitals. This indicates that attention must be given to population access to public healthcare in the State of Paraná in order to ensure proper and timely medical attention.

J Vasc Surg 2020; 73:942-949.e1. [PMID: 32861862 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2020.07.096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE After surgery or other interventions, unplanned readmissions are associated with poor outcomes and drain health care resources. Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) are at particularly high risk of readmission, and readmissions result in increased health care costs. The primary aims of the study were to discover and compare the 30-day readmission rates of patients who underwent lower extremity surgical bypass (LEB) and endovascular infrainguinal endovascular intervention (IEI) for CLI and to evaluate the relationship between unplanned readmissions likely related to the primary procedure for IEI compared with LEB. METHODS The Targeted Vascular Module from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried to identify all infrainguinal LEB or IEI for CLI from 2015 to 2018. Those who were not eligible for the primary outcome of interest were excluded. The primary 30-day outcome was unplanned readmission. Univariate analyses for primary and secondary outcomes were performed using Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum testing. Multivariate analysis was performed using inverse probability weighting and independent risk factors for readmission were identified with logistic regression. RESULTS There were 12,873 patients who met inclusion criteria. In the LEB cohort, there were 7270 (56.5%) patients, and in the IEI cohort, there were 5603 (43.5%) patients. Thirty percent (n = 1696) of the IEI cohort underwent a tibial intervention, and 49% (n = 3547) underwent a distal bypass. The IEI cohort was more likely to be high physiologic risk (P < .001) and to present with tissue loss (P < .001), whereas the LEB cohort was more likely to have high anatomic risk features (P < .001) and be performed under emergent conditions (P < .001). After multivariable analysis, LEB was found to be independently predictive for both unplanned readmissions due to any cause (adjusted odds ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-1.51; P < .001) and procedure-related unplanned interventions (adjusted odds ratio, 1.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.63-2.11; P < .001). Independent predictors of readmission were LEB, preoperative sepsis, severe chronic kidney disease, dependent functional status, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, high-risk physiologic features, African American race, preoperative steroid use, history of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and preoperative tissue loss. CONCLUSIONS LEB is independently associated with unplanned readmission from all causes and from procedure-related causes after adjusting for the measured confounders. More research is required to determine the economic burden of these readmissions.
