PAD + COVID-19 patients presented more clinical complications like major amputations (11.59%), myocardial infarction (2.08%), cardiogenic shock (2.98%), chronic kidney failure with GFR&lt;= 15\u00a0mL\/min (5.33%) and prolonged ventilation time &gt;48 h (3.37%). Rates of pulmonary thromboembolism (0.24%), myocardial infarction (2.08%), and stroke (1.02%) were low in patients with PAD + COVID-19. Adjusted regression analyses for risk differences revealed possible causes of higher mortality rates, such as prolonged ventilation time, pneumonia, major amputations, multiple organ system failure, and length of hospital stay in patients with severe PAD (Rutherford 5-6) + COVID-19.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pneumonia and major amputations were associated with high mortality rates in PAD + COVID-19 in 2020.
