Abstract

We retrospectively studied the arteriograms of 135 men admitted for evaluation of lower extremity ischemia to examine whether race influences the severity of infragenicular occlusive disease. The scoring system prepared by the Ad Hoc Committee on Reporting Standards for the Society for Vascular Surgery and the International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery was used to grade the severity of stenosis in each of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the anterior and posterior tibial and peroneal arteries (collectively called "infragenicular" arteries). The patients were divided into two groups: 83 blacks (140 arteriogram limbs) and 52 whites (87 arteriogram limbs). Disease severity scores between the groups were compared, and the existence of five known risk factors for atherosclerosis were considered for poststratification adjustment. Results showed that higher disease scores, indicating more severe disease, were found in the black population in every segment of the infragenicular arteries. The mean (+/- SE) score for all the infragenicular segments in blacks was significantly higher than that in the whites (2.08 +/- 0.05 vs 1.57 +/- 0.06, p less than 0.001). The black and white groups were comparable in terms of age (65.2 vs 64.6 years), prevalence of diabetes (20% vs 25%), smoking history (93% vs 90%), and hypercholesterolemia (51% vs 63%). Hypertension was more prevalent among the black patients (51% vs 27%, p less than 0.001). When only the non-hypertensive patients in both groups were considered, however; the mean severity score was still significantly higher in blacks (2.10 +/- 0.06 vs 1.42 +/- 0.06, p less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
