Mashup Score: 1
BACKGROUND: Black patients, those with low socioeconomic status (SES), and those living in rural areas have elevated rates of major lower extremity amputation, which may be related to a lack of subspecialty chronic limb-threatening ischemia care. We evaluated the association between race, rurality, SES, and preamputation vascular care. METHODS: Among patients aged 66 to 86 years with fee-for-service Medicare who underwent major lower extremity amputation for chronic limb-threatening ischemia from July 2010 to December 2019, we compared the proportion who received vascular care in the 12 months before amputation by race (Black versus White), rurality, and SES (dual eligibility for Medicaid versus no dual eligibility) using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for clinical and demographic covariates. RESULTS: Among 73 237 patients who underwent major lower extremity amputation, 40 320 (55.1%) had an outpatient vascular subspecialist visit, 60 109 (82.1%) had lower extremity arteri

Mashup Score: 0PAD Briefing and Foot Screening - 2 year(s) ago
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the build-up of plaque inside the arteries of a patient’s lower extremities (i.e. legs and feet) and is a chronic, life-threatening condition, which often results in amputations. Left undetected and untreated, PAD can progressively worsen and increase one’s risk of having a cardiovascular event. To educate about PAD, the briefing will provide foot screenings by podiatrists to detect and treat PAD early. Wednesday, September 27, 2023 | 9:00AM -12:00PM | CVC 217 Moderator: Foluso Fakorede, MD, Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc. Panelists: David Alper, MD, American Diabetes Association Alexander Fanaroff, MD, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions Osama A. Ibrahim, MD, American College of Cardiology Rich Browne, MD, Johnson & Johnson PAD education and information will be provided by the Society of Interventional Radiologists and PAD Advocates.
