Search for: [Abstract = "anges of physical examination of the arterial system into \(1\) complete examination \(upper segment and lower limb arteries\), \(2\) examination of upper segment arteries, and \(3\) examination of lower limb arteries, based on ROC and area under the curve analysis \(AUC\), we showed the greatest but modest value of a complete vascular examination and lower limb arterial examination in people with different ABI categories, while the assessment of the upper segment of the arterial system \(carotid, renal and aorta\) and the ability to walk 200 metres had little diagnostic value for diagnosis of PAD. In another publication, mortality over a 10\-year period was assessed based on the age of the subjects and the ABI value. In the analyzed period, 27.3% of people before the age of 80 died and 79.4% aged 80 and over died. However, in the subgroups divided according to ABI value, the highest mortality was found in the ABI<0.9 \(67.8%\) group while lower, similar mortality rates were found in the groups with normal ABI \(41.5%\) and high ABI \(40.3%\), which was confirmed by Kaplan\-Meier survival analysis \(log\-rank test, p<0.001\). Similarly, higher mortality in people with ABI<0.9, with no difference in the risk of death in the groups with normal and high ABI, was demonstrated in the subgroup of people <80 years old \(log\-rank test, p<0.001\). In contrast, among participants aged 80 years and over in the an"]
