Guidance:
Automated ankle brachial pressure index measurement devices to detect peripheral arterial disease in people with leg ulcers
Date issued:
24 May 2023

Research recommendations coming out of this guidance

  • The committee recommends more research on diagnostic accuracy in people with leg ulcers. The following considerations should be made when doing this research:

  • The committee recommends collecting further data on the impact of the automated devices on time to treatment for people with leg ulcers to reduce uncertainty in the economic modelling.

  • The committee recommends collecting further data on clinical outcomes such as time to healing, and incorrect use of compression and its associated adverse consequences when possible.
