Mortality at 1 Year and 2 Years After Incident PAD Diagnosis in the Outpatient (n=873) or Inpatient (n=213) Setting: ARIC Study, 2002–2010
| 1‐y Mortality (95% CI) | 2‐y Mortality (95% CI) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age‐Standardized Modela | Full Modelb | Age‐Standardized Modela | Full Modelb | |
| Overall (n=1086) | 8.9 (7.2–10.5) | 7.8 (6.1–9.2) | 16.6 (14.4–18.7) | 15.1 (13.0–17.2) |
| Incident outpatient (n=873) | 7.1 (5.4–8.7) | 6.3 (4.8–7.7) | 15.3 (12.9–17.6) | 13.7 (11.4–15.9) |
| Incident inpatient (n=213) | 16.0 (11.0–21.1) | 14.7 (9.9–19.3) | 21.5 (15.8–27.2) | 19.9 (14.3–25.5) |
ARIC indicates Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities; CI, confidence interval; PAD, peripheral artery disease.
Standardized to reflect age, race, and sex distribution of the 2005 Medicare population; age strata included 67–69, 70–74, 75–79, and ≥80 y.
Full adjusted model includes age, race, sex, income, education, diabetes mellitus, smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, end‐stage renal disease, disease severity, self‐rated health, and any‐cause office visit in 1 year before diagnosis. Propensity score models use 202 inpatient and 862 outpatient incident PAD events because of nonoverlap of 22 observations.
