Activity Steps

Purpose of Activity

To present the results of a research study evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of the ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) compared with that of Doppler arterial waveforms (DAWs) to detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Learning Objectives

After completing this continuing education activity you will be able to:

  1. Summarize the evidence the authors considered when comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the ABPI with that of Doppler arterial waveforms to detect PAD.
  2. Select the characteristics of the participants in the studies the authors analyzed.
  3. Identify the results of the authors' study comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the ABPI with that of Doppler arterial waveforms to detect PAD.
  4. Distinguish the authors' conclusions about the advantages of using Doppler arterial waveforms to detect PAD.
