However, death may occur at the early stages of treatment for wound healing, and aggressive treatment may limit the quality of life of such patients. In patients with CLTI undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT), the Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) clinical stage, male sex, older age, non-ambulatory status, low body mass index, and dialysis have been reported as predictors of mortality risk. However, most studies have not fully investigated the WIFI clinical stage as a prognostic predictor of CLTI. This study aimed to evaluate short-term prognosis and wound healing rates using the prognostic predictors (PPs) indicated above in risk-stratified patients with CLTI who underwent EVT. This retrospective single-center observational study included 61 CLTI patients undergoing EVT from April 2020 to October 2022. The patients were divided into a high-risk group (PPs ≥ 4, n = 20) and low-risk group (PPs ≤ 3, n = 41) according to the number of PPs. Survival and wound healing rates within one year were compared between these two groups. The mean age of the patients was 74.7 ± 1.6 years, and 42 (68.9%) were male. Among these patients, the high-risk group compared with the low-risk group had a significantly worse survival rate within one year (46.4% vs. 84.7%, log-rank p < 0.001). Fifteen patients died within one year. Of these, seven deaths were cardiovascular deaths and six were deaths from infectious diseases. Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that WIfI clinical stage 4 (p = 0.043, hazard ratio [HR] = 4.85) and the male sex (p = 0.037, HR = 6.34) influenced the prognosis of this population. The high-risk group tended to have a worse wound healing rate within one year than that had by the low-risk group (55.4% vs. 83.0%, log-rank p = 0.086). The assessment of short-term prognosis and wound healing rates using PPs may be useful. Discussing the results of short-term clinical outcome assessments with patients should be considered when determining their individualized treatment plans.","PeriodicalId":52351,"journal":{"name":"CVIR Endovascular","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140172364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
