Summary:
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this study validated the WIfI classification in the VQI PVI database, confirming its value in predicting major amputation and mortality in patients with CLTI. Higher WIfI stages were independently associated with increased risk of major amputation and mortality, highlighting the importance of capturing and integrating the WIfI score into all VQI modules related to treatment of PAD.
