Abstract

Objectives . To determine whether different levels of the ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) are associated with an increased risk for progressive limbischemia, nonfatal and fatal cardiovascular events. To investigate the prognostic value of signs and symptoms associated with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). Design . Prospective follow-up study. Setting . Eighteen general practice centers in the Netherlands. Participants . Three thousand six hundred forty-nine participants (53% female) with a mean age of 59 years (range: 40-78 years). Main outcome measures . Progressive limbischemia, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Results . At baseline, 458 participants had PAOD, defined as an ABPI
