Abstract

The association between hemoglobin A_1c levels and the severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was investigated in 224 patients with diabetes mellitus and PAD. The mean hemoglobin A_1c levels were 9.1 ± 2.1% in patients with diabetes with ankle-brachial indexes (ABIs) <0.60 and 7.1 ± 0.9% in those with ABIs of 0.60 to 0.89 (p <0.0001). Hemoglobin A_1c levels <6.5% were present in 2 of 89 patients with diabetes (2%) with ABIs <0.60 and in 24 of 135 (18%) with ABIs of 0.60 to 0.89 (p = 0.0004). Hemoglobin A_1c levels <7.0% were present in 24 of 89 patients with diabetes (27%) with ABIs <0.60 and in 63 of 135 (47%) with ABIs of 0.60 to 0.89 (p = 0.003). Hemoglobin A_1c levels <7.5% were present in 30 of 89 patients with diabetes (34%) with ABIs <0.60 and in 92 of 135 (68%) with ABIs of 0.60 to 0.89 (p <0.0001). In conclusion, the higher the hemoglobin A_1c levels in patients with diabetes with PAD, the higher the prevalence of severe PAD.
