Using Pedal Acceleration Time To Predict Ischemic Wound Healing In Diabetic Patients

The results of our study validate the cut-off of 180 ms and reinforce using PAT as a predictor for wound healing, even among diabetic patients. In our analysis, only patients with HW had mean PAT ≤180 ms, with higher values of PAT being associated with worse outcomes (need for revascularization/amputation). Furthermore, in NHW patients, those with a PAT closer to 180 ms were associated with more favourable wound healing outcomes.
