2022, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Thus, study enrollment could have been biased towards patients with more severe disease or acute problems. However, numerous other studies have demonstrated that deficits in PAD knowledge transcend borders; are present in patients with PAD, medical practitioners, and medical trainees alike10-16,36,37; lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment38; and are barriers to patients coping and participating in their care plans.20,34 Finally, the cross-sectional and observational design is a limitation.
