Study Shows Socioeconomic Disparities in Treatment of CLI Patients
January 28, 2011—The Society for Vascular Surgery announced that Louis L. Nguyen, MD, et al have published a study in the Journal of Vascular Surgery analyzing the impact of socioeconomic status and access to high-volume hospitals on the rate of amputation versus revascularization (2011;53:307–315). The investigators hypothesized that disparities in limb salvage procedures may be driven by socioeconomic factors and sought to identify specific status factors that may be associated with major amputation in the setting of critical limb ischemia (CLI).
