Abstract:
Predicting adverse outcomes in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a complex task owing to the heterogeneity in patient and disease characteristics. This systematic review aimed to identify prognostic factors and prognostic models to predict mortality outcomes in patients with PAD Fontaine stage I - III or Rutherford category 0 - 4.Cite

The aim of the present study was to investigate if alterations in protein S levels occur in peripheral arterial disease. In a group of 33 patients with peripheral arterial disease and in a group of 10 healthy volunteers we have the quantitative determination of functional protein S. The observer values show non significant difference in protein S levels among vasculopathic patients and controls (only five out of 33 patients showed low protein S levels). These data seem to suggest that low protein S levels do not play an important role in the development of peripheral arterial disease.
