Vascular Quality Initiative Based Risk Score for Mortality within 3 Years of Revascularization for Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia in End Stage Renal Disease Patients on Dialysis.
Key takeaways
Researchers used a US registry of 38,144 people on dialysis who had surgery to restore blood flow to badly blocked legs. From those records, they built a score to predict who is likely to die within 3 years of the surgery. They built the score on two-thirds of the patients and checked it on the other third. It is a look back at past records, so it shows links to risk, not what causes death.
