Introduction: The combination of intermittent claudication (IC), cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), and sarcopenia is associated with worse outcomes than IC alone. This study aimed to identify whether the completion of supervised exercise therapy...

Journal of Vascular Societies Great Britain and Ireland, 3(3), 155-159. https://doi.org/10.54522/jvsgbi.2024.103

Introduction: The aim of this systematic review is to consider the evidence base for home-based high intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). Prior knowledge of the evidence base suggests that there may be l...

Journal Article
Lathan, R., Hitchman, L., Long, J., Gwilym, B., Wall, M., Juszczak, M., Smith, G., Popplewell, M., Bosanquet, D., Hinchliffe, R., Pinkney, T., & Chetter, I. (2024).

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...
