Factors associated with delays in revascularization in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia: population-based cohort study.
Prompt revascularization in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) is important, and recent guidance has suggested that patients should undergo revascularization within 5 days of an emergency admission to hospital. The aim of this cohort study was to identify factors associated with the ability of UK vascular services to meet this standard of care. ⋯ Several factors were associated with delays in time to revascularization for patients with CLTI in the UK, most notably the weekday of admission, which reflects how services are organized. The results support arguments for vascular units providing revascularization to have the resources for a 7-day service.
