Racial differences in operation for peripheral vascular disease: results of a population-based study.

摘要: Abstract Operation for non-coronary atherosclerotic peripheral vascular occlusive disease may vary among race and gender groups. Using a state-wide registry, the authors identified all operations performed infrarenal over 12-month period in single south-eastern state. Procedures included reconstruction aortoiliac (n=641) infrainguinal (n=1129) major amputation (n=1077). The incidence patients age 50 was calculated using census data. significantly more likely white (relative risk 3.79, 95% C.I. 2.84–5.15), but less 0.64, 0.56–0.73) 0.17, 0.15–0.19). Trends toward lower operative mortality blacks with (10.6% versus 12.0%), PVD (3.2% 3.5%), (5.5 8.7%) failed to attain statistical significance.
