Introduction: Approximately 5000 major lower-limb amputations (MLLA) for PAD occur per-annum in the UK with clinical outcomes being poor for this high-risk cohort of patients. Existing evidence suggests that anaemic surgical patients have an increased 30-day mortality, but this has not been explored in the context of MLLA. Recent prioritization processes suggested that MLLAs are a target area for research into outcome improvement.

- Patients with bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs) are more likely to have Parkinson's disease (PD), and this study aims to see how BSDs affect the symptoms of PD.
- Among the analyzed group of 2660 PD patients, those with a history of BSDs exhibited a higher incidence of family history of PD, impulse control disorders, and cognitive issues compared to those without BSDs.
- Treatment outcomes, especially with deep brain stimulation, showed no improvements in quality of life for BSD-PD patients, indicating that BSDs negatively impact the progression and treatment of PD.
Introduction: Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) forms a significant part of the vascular surgery workload and carries with it high rates of morbidity and mortality. Anaemia is also common amongst vascular surgical patients and has been linked with poor outcomes in some subgroups. We aimed to assess the frequency of anaemia in patients with ALI and its impact on survival and complications following revascularisation to help direct future efforts to optimise outcomes in this patient group.
