Participants with clinically suspected PAD were recruited via consecutive sampling at four centres. Colour duplex ultrasound (reference standard) and toe brachial index (TBI) were measured by a vascular sonographer. A second vascular sonographer, blinded to all other measures, conducted the PAT measurements on the same limb. PAD was defined as a > 50% stenosis in any vessel from the distal aorta to the foot. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios were estimated for all PAT values.
