Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between microalbuminuria and long-term life expectancy or limb events in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed in 714 patients with PAD. The primary outcomes were cardiovascular or cerebrovascular death (CCVD) and all-cause death (AD), and secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cardiovascular and/or limb events (CVLE). Results: The 5, 10, and 15 year survival rates were 82.4%, 53.1%, and 33.0%, respectively. The prevalence of patients with increased microalbuminuria was 39.2%. Higher microalbuminuria, age, C-reactive protein (CRP), lower serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), diabetes, cerebral infarction, and coronary heart disease (CHD) were associated with CCVD; higher microalbuminuria, age, CRP, D-dimer, lower serum albumin, eGFR, and critical limb ischemia were related to AD; higher microalbuminuria, age, CRP, lower serum albumin, ABI, diabetes, and CHD were related to MACE; higher microalbuminuria, age, lower ABI, cerebral infarction, and CHD were related to CVLE in Cox multivariate analyses (p |
