Correlation of ankle-wrist pressure index with ankle-brachial pressure index to assess lower limb perfusion in diabetic foot ulcer: a pilot study.
Objective: The presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is a significant risk factor for chronicity and amputation. Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) is a screening tool for PAD. Brachial systolic pressure measurement, used as a denominator in the calculation of ABPI, produces inaccurate results in patients with obesity and the presence of heavy clothing. The wrist, however, is easily accessible, and the ankle-wrist pressure index (AWPI), if comparable with ABPI, may be useful in screening selected patients. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of AWPI in diagnosing perfusion in DFUs and compare it to ABPI in patients with DFUs.
Method: ABPI and AWPI were calculated by measuring systolic blood pressure in the arteries of the ankle, arm and wrist with a handheld Doppler. Actual perfusion was determined by the presence or absence of PAD by duplex ultrasound.
Results: A total of 46 lower extremities in 41 patients were studied. The prevalence of PAD was 61%. Duplex ultrasound confirmed that the sensitivity of ABPI and AWPI in detecting PAD in patients with DFUs was 67.9% and 71.4% respectively, whereas the specificity of ABPI and AWPI was 94.4% and 88.9% respectively. On receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve of ABPI and AWPI was 0.804 and 0.795, respectively. A statistically significant positive correlation between ABPI and AWPI was found (r=0.986; p<0.001).
Conclusion: There was a good correlation between ABPI and AWPI over a wide range of values. ABPI and AWPI may have a similar role in predicting perfusion in patients with DFUs. AWPI could be used in place of ABPI in selected patients in whom measuring ABPI may be difficult.

期刊介绍:
Journal of Wound Care (JWC) is the definitive wound-care journal and the leading source of up-to-date research and clinical information on everything related to tissue viability. The journal was first launched in 1992 and aimed at catering to the needs of the multidisciplinary team. Published monthly, the journal’s international audience includes nurses, doctors and researchers specialising in wound management and tissue viability, as well as generalists wishing to enhance their practice.
In addition to cutting edge and state-of-the-art research and practice articles, JWC also covers topics related to wound-care management, education and novel therapies, as well as JWC cases supplements, a supplement dedicated solely to case reports and case series in wound care. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed by a panel of international experts, comprised of clinicians, nurses and researchers.
Specifically, JWC publishes:
High quality evidence on all aspects of wound care, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, the diabetic foot, burns, surgical wounds, wound infection and more
The latest developments and innovations in wound care through both preclinical and preliminary clinical trials of potential new treatments worldwide
In-depth prospective studies of new treatment applications, as well as high-level research evidence on existing treatments
Clinical case studies providing information on how to deal with complex wounds
Comprehensive literature reviews on current concepts and practice, including cost-effectiveness
Updates on the activities of wound care societies around the world.
