Ankle\u2013brachial index (ABI) is the most commonly used test when diagnosing peripheral macrovascular disease and is a well-known marker for increased cardiovascular risk. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) is considered to better evaluate microvascular function and has in previous studies shown correlations with both wound healing and survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined impact of a low TcPO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (&lt;30\u00a0mmHg) and a pathological ABI (&lt;0.9 or\u2009\u22651.4) on three-year mortality in patients with DFU.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Type 2 diabetes patients aged\u2009&lt;90\u00a0years, with at least one DFU who underwent vascular assessment with ABI and TcPO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> were screened for participation.
