Aims: Determine the risk factors, survival time and the incidence rate of CKD in T2DM.
Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is used for diagnosis of PAD.
Objectives: Establish the prevalence and incidence rate for PAD and determine the associated factors and survival time for the development of PAD.
