Conclusions: Our findings indicate that TPs are useful to assist in diagnosing PAD in clinical practice, however, results should be interpreted with caution due to the small probability of PAD being present with a negative test.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:21:58 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42754 Thu 01 Sep 2022 14:56:24 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42604 20% compared to resting ABI, an ABI value of ≤0.90 postexercise, or a reduction in systolic ankle pressure of >30 mmHg postexercise. This retrospective study used colour duplex ultrasound (CDU) as the reference standard. In 278 limbs (whole group), the resting ABI had an overall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.71, with the postexercise ABI yielding a similar diagnostic accuracy of AUC 0.72. In the non-diabetes group (n=171), the resting ABI had an overall AUC of 0.74 and the postexercise ABI had a similar AUC of 0.76. In the diabetes group (n=107), overall accuracy was reduced compared to the non-diabetes group, with the resting ABI having an overall AUC of 0.65 and the postexercise ABI yielding a similar accuracy with an AUC of 0.64. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the postexercise ABI for diagnosing PAD was not greatly improved compared to resting ABI. Given the lower overall diagnostic accuracy in the diabetes group, both the resting and the postexercise ABI results in diabetes populations should be interpreted with caution. There is a risk of undiagnosed disease if relying on these results alone to determine lower limb vascular status.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 15:54:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44525 Fri 14 Oct 2022 13:58:33 AEDT ]]>
