Patients with an HbA1c of >7% were younger (69.9 ± 10.2 years vs 71.7 ± 9.5 years; P = .011), had higher lipid levels, insulin use (70% vs 49%; P < .01), American Society of Anesthesiologists classification of 4, and had a lower prevalence of chronic kidney disease (32% v s41%; P = .023). Patients with an HbA1c of >7% were more likely to present with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) (79% vs 72%; P = .019) and undergo infrapopliteal interventions (49% vs 42%; P = .005), with no difference in anatomical complexity (TransAtlantic Inter Society Consensus class C/D, 75% vs 77%; P = .72) or type of revascularization (24% vs 18% open, 66% vs 70% endovascular, 10% vs 12% hybrid; P = .236). Patency and freedom from MALE were significantly lower in patients with an HbA1c of >7% for infrainguinal revascularizations, whereas amputation-free survival and overall survival were similar.
