Table V.
Variables | Men (n = 27) | Women (n = 24) | P Value |
---|---|---|---|
ACD unadjusted (meters) | 483 (50) | 265 (32) | 0.001 |
ACD adjusted for ABI (meters) | 468 (40) | 281 (42) | 0.003 |
ACD adjusted for ABI and calf muscle StO2 variables* (meters) | 401 (26) | 341 (27) | 0.132 |
Adjusted for time to minimum StO2, the average rate of decline in StO2 from rest to minimum StO2 value, and recovery half-time of StO2. ABI = ankle/brachial index, ACD = absolute claudication distance, StO2 = hemoglobin oxygen saturation.
