Table 2 Duration of wound in overall population and by scheduled treatment strategy.
Duration of wound | ≤1 month | 1–2 months | 2–3 months | 3–6 months | >6 months |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Overall (n=428) | 41.8% [36.9%–46.8%] | 22.1% [17.9%–26.2%] | 20.2% [16.0%–24.5%] | 11.7% [8.5%–14.8%] | 4.2% [2.2%–6.2%] |
Surgical (n=142) | 38.0% [28.9%–47.1%] | 22.7% [15.4%–30.0%] | 20.6% [12.9%–28.2%] | 13.4% [7.3%–19.6%] | 5.3% [1.3%–9.3%] |
Endovascular (n=275) | 44.3% [38.3%–50.3%] | 21.0% [16.0%–26.0%] | 19.9% [14.9%–24.8%] | 11.1% [7.2%–14.9%] | 3.7% [1.5%–6.0%] |
Conservative (n=11) | 36.4% [7.9%–64.8%] | 27.3% [1.0%–53.6%] | 18.2% [0.0%–41.0%] | 9.1% [0.0%–26.1%] | 9.1% [0.0%–26.1%] |
Data are the estimated proportions [95% confidence intervals] obtained using the multiple imputation methods. The original data on the duration of the wound were available in 388 of 428 patients (90.1%): 117 of 142 surgical patients (82.4%), 260 of 275 endovascular patients (94.5%), and 11of 11 conservative patients (100.0%). The duration of the wound were not different among scheduled treatment strategies (P=0.31 between surgical and endovascular, P=0.48 between surgical and conservative, and P=0.38 between endovascular and conservative, by the linear mixed model including log-transformed duration of wound as the dependent variable, treatment strategies as the fixed effects, and the inter-institution variability as the random effects).
