PG - 477-482 LID - 10.5551/jat.57711 [doi] AB - AIM: The latest Global Vascular Guidelines (GVG) recommend assessing the 2-year mortality risk in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) before revascularization. This study aimed to reveal whether the Wound, Ischemia and foot Infection (WIfI) classification, developed originally as a risk assessment tool for limb prognosis, would be useful in predicting the 2-year mortality risk in patients with CLTI in the era of GVG and WIfI. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 849 patients with CLTI who were primarily treated with endovascular therapy (EVT) between April 2010 and December 2016. The impact of baseline characteristics, including the WIfI classification on mortality risk, was investigated using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS: During a mean follow-up of 19.3 months, 243 deaths were observed. The 2-year mortality rate was 32.3%. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that WIfI classification stages (p=0.037), in addition to male sex (p=0.010), age (p<0.001), non-ambulatory status (p<0.001), body mass index (p=0.002), and hemodialysis (p<0.001), were independent predictors for an increased risk of mortality, while the Rutherford classification was not. CONCLUSIONS: WIfI classification stages were independently associated with mortality risk in patients with CLTI undergoing EVT, while the Rutherford classification was not. The WIfI classification would be a practical tool for planning the revascularization strategy in CLTI treatment. FAU - Hata, Yosuke AU - Hata Y AD - Kansai Rosai Hospital Cardiovascular Center.
