Psychological factors associated with functional recovery among patients with a peripheral arterial disease after lower extremity bypass.

Functional recovery, described by walking ability, is one of the significant outcomes for patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) after lower extremity bypass. Little is known about associated factors that help to improve this outcome. The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with functional recovery among patients with PAD after lower extremity bypass, such as postoperative period, social support, and depression.

Factors influencing prehospital delay time among patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

Background: Only one-third of patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) seek medical care after perceiving the symptoms of PAOD, and most PAOD patients only visit the physician when they develop ulceration and gangrene. Delay can result in lower extremity amputation and death within three years. The aim of this study was to predict prehospital delay time from sociodemographic characteristics and clinical characteristics, social support, knowledge about PAOD, depression and fear, and treatment-seeking behaviors among patients with PAOD.

Factors influencing the presence of peripheral arterial disease among Thai patients with type 2 diabetes.
