- - 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.

Urgent specialist referral and timely revascularisation are recommended in international guidelines. UK guidelines now recommend revascularisation within five days of referral for inpatients and two weeks in outpatients.
