For ref. (37), the table reports the proportion of patients with PAOD at trial enrolment (where available from the publication) and the amputation rate over the course of the trial; for ref. (31), the occurrence of acute or chronic limb ischemia requiring hospitalization; and for refs. (e5, e6), the need for peripheral revascularization
GLP, glucagon-like peptide-1-receptor agonists; PAOD, peripheral arterial occlusive disease; MALE, major adverse limb events; n.a., not available; CI, confidence interval
