Journal Article
Palmer, J., Pymer, S., Smith, G., Ingle, L., Harwood, A., & Chetter, I. (in press). The prognostic value of simple frailty and malnutrition screening tools for determining surgical risk in patients with chronic limb threatening ischaemia undergoing major vascular surgery: A retrospective cross-sectional study. Journal of Vascular Societies Great Britain and Ireland, https://doi.org/10.54522/jvsgbi.2024.124

Background: This study aims to explore the prognostic value of simple frailty and malnutrition tools for determining postoperative outcomes at 30 days and 1 year in patients with CLTI undergoing major surgery. Methods: This was a single-centre retr...

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...

Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial (2024)
Journal Article
Cai, P., Pymer, S., Raza, A., Ibeggazene, S., Hitchman, L., Chetter, I., & 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 therapy in... Read More about Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
