Editor's Choice - Association of Pedal Acceleration Time With Healing and Amputation Free Survival in Patients With Ulceration and Gangrene.

Objective: Pedal acceleration time (PAT) is a novel non-invasive perfusion measurement that may be useful in the management of patients with ulceration and gangrene. The objective of this study was to report the association between PAT and wound healing, amputation free survival (AFS), and mortality at one year.

Methods: This prospective observational study reviewed all patients who underwent PAT after presentation with ulceration or gangrene from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2022.
