| Summary: | Aims: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is linked to vascular cognitive impairment and vascular depression due to concurrent cerebrovascular disease. Cognitive impairment and mental health disorders in surgical patients lead to poorer recovery and rehabilitation. Awareness of these diagnoses in this population is important when considering suitability for surgical input – especially high-risk procedures such as limb revascularisation. In the UK population, evidence suggests that 33–42% of cognitive impairment and 26.5% of anxiety and depressive disorders remain undiagnosed. In this high-risk PAD population, this is likely an underestimate. We aim to determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment and anxiety and depressive disorders within this group while controlling for possible confounders. |
