Notes: aBaseline SF-36 scores estimated from figure #3 in Deutschmann 2007;39 bA weighted average of the baseline SF-36 scores for the three patient subgroups (Non-Diabetes, Diabetes, and Secondary Amputation) from Table #3 in Engelhardt 2008;40 cCLI population defined as “severe lower limb ischemia” in the Forbes 201041 study (BASIL trial); dFor the purpose of this analysis, the CLI patient population from the Peeters Weem 201645 study was defined as patients with “no option severe limb ischemia”; baseline SF-36 scores estimated from figure #2 in Peeters Weem 2016;45 eFor the purposes of this analysis, the SF-36 scores presented in the table earlier are from Table II in the van Hattum 201147 study for the Bypass and Oral Anticoagulants or Aspirin (BOA) Study group.
