“…As compared to previous studies in people with type 2 diabetes, we have observed a lower prevalence of PAD, which may partially be explained by the differences in PAD definitions used [13, 14]. The main limitation of our investigation is that we have studied patients with symptomatic and severe PAD, and may have underestimated outcomes associated with asymptomatic PAD.…”

“…In the PROspective pioglitAzone clinical trial in macrovascular events (PROactive) trial, baseline PAD was associated with high risk of all-cause mortality, and macrovascular complications in 5238 patients with type 2 diabetes during a mean follow-up of 2.9 years [14]. In the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D) trial, low ankle-brachial index or non-compressible artery were associated with increased risks of death and major cardiovascular events in 2368 patients with type 2 diabetes followed for an average of 4.3 years [15].…”

“…20,24,25 To our knowledge, this is the first study to link the association between MC and mortality to the coexistence of atherosclerotic lesions. Using soft-tissue X-rays, Lehto et al reported increased risk for mortality and CVD events in case of MC in diabetic patients.…”

“…Subjects were defined as having diabetes mellitus (i) if they had been assigned the clinical diagnosis by their physician and/or (ii) if their HbA 1c was ≥6.5% (criterion used in 94 cases) and/or (iii) if they were receiving any oral antidiabetic drug and/or insulin at baseline. The ≥6.5% HbA 1c value is above the typically used upper reference value of 6.0% and is highly specific for diabetes [21,22]. Subjects were defined as taking hypertension medication, if they were receiving AT 1 receptor antagonists and/or ACE inhibitors and/or diuretics at baseline.…”
