Assessing Best Medical Treatment Patterns of Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease in Germany

Assessing Best Medical Treatment Patterns of Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease in Germany - A GermanVasc Study

This proposed study will be conducted to support real-world-evidence on the extent of best medical treatment for secondary prevention of patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) for prevention of worsening limb symptoms or of major adverse cardiovascular events. The overall objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of patient characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes in PAOD patients. For this purpose the investigators will analyze a patient population hospitalized either with intermittent claudication (IC) or chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) while taking prior PAOD-related diagnoses in the outpatient setting into account. In detail, we study differentials according to age, calendar time, sex, disease severity and hospital procedure. Data were extracted from available German health insurance claims.
