Article Synopsis
  • - The review aimed to create a comprehensive list of outcome measures for studies on intermittent claudication, with the goal of establishing a standardized core outcome set.
  • - A total of 4985 studies were screened, resulting in 408 included studies that reported 541 unique outcomes categorized by Dodd's domains, highlighting a predominance of clinical-oriented measures.
  • - The findings revealed significant variability in how outcomes are defined across studies, indicating the need for a core outcome set to enhance clarity and consistency in future research on intermittent claudication.
