Abstract

trend<0.001) respectively. Addition of ankle-brachial index significantly (p<0.001) increased the predictive value of the model for 3-year deaths compared with a model containing risk factors alone. Comparison of areas under receiver operator characteristics curves confirmed that a model including the ankle-brachial index discriminated better than one without. Conclusions There was an inverse association between anklebrachial index and mortality. Addition of ankle-brachial index significantly improved the prediction of 3-year mortality over and above that of conventional risk factors. We recommend that anklebrachial index be incorporated into prognostic assessment for patients with ischaemic heart disease.
