Understanding delays in chronic limb-threatening ischaemia care: Application of the theoretical domains framework to identify factors affecting primary care clinicians' referral behaviours. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 17(2), Article e12015. https://doi.org/10.1002/jfa2.12015

Introduction: Patients in the community with suspected Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) should be urgently referred to vascular services for investigation and management. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) allows identification of influ...

Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial (2024)
Journal Article
Cai, P., Pymer, S., Raza, A., Ibeggazene, S., Ibeggazene, S., Hitchman, L., …Smith, G. (2024). Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Surgery, https://doi.org/10.1001/jamasurg.2024.0625

Importance Intermittent lower limb claudication limits function and quality of life. Supervised exercise programs are not readily available, and a noninvasive alternative is needed. Objective To assess extracorporeal corporeal shockwave ther... Read More about Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

A feasibility survey to inform trial design investigating surgical site infection prevention in vascular surgery (2024)
Journal Article
Lathan, R., Hitchman, L., Long, J., Gwilym, B., Wall, M., Juszczak, M., …Chetter, I. (2024). A feasibility survey to inform trial design investigating surgical site infection prevention in vascular surgery. Journal of Vascular Societies Great Britain and Ireland, 3(2), 76-83. https://doi.org/10.54522/jvsgbi.2024.116

Introduction: Current surgical site infection (SSI) prevention guidance indicates low-quality evidence supporting many of their recommendations. Subsequently, there is substantial variation in practice and often implementation of unsubstantiated inte...

Tailored risk assessment and forecasting in intermittent claudication (2024)
Journal Article
Ravindhran, B., Prosser, J., Lim, A., Lathan, R., Hitchman, L., Mishra, B., …Chetter, I. (2024). Tailored risk assessment and forecasting in intermittent claudication. BJS Open, 8(1), Article zrad166. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrad166

Background Guidelines recommend cardiovascular risk reduction and supervised exercise therapy as the first line of treatment in intermittent claudication, but implementation challenges and poor patient compliance lead to significant variation in man...

Journal Article
Pymer, S., Harwood, A., Ibeggazene, S., McGregor, G., Huang, C., Nicholls, A., …Twiddy, M. (2024). High INtensity Interval Training In pATiEnts with intermittent claudication (INITIATE): a qualitative acceptability study. Annals of vascular surgery, 102, Article 17-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2023.11.043

Introduction A novel high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programme has demonstrated feasibility for patients with intermittent claudication (IC). The aim of this study was to explore patient perspectives of the HIIT programme to inform refinemen...

The symptom to assessment pathway for suspected chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) affects quality of care: a process mapping exercise (2024)
Journal Article
Atkins, E., Kellar, I., Birmpili, P., Waton, S., Li, Q., Johal, A. S., …Cromwell, D. A. (2024). The symptom to assessment pathway for suspected chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) affects quality of care: a process mapping exercise. BMJ Open Quality, 13(1), Article e002605. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjoq-2023-002605

Background Delays in the pathway from first symptom to treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) are associated with worse mortality and limb loss outcomes. This study examined the processes used by vascular services to provide urgent ca...
