Patients were admitted for a total of 4662 hospitalizations and spent 25,970\u2009days in hospital. Between 79% and 99% of surviving subjects were hospitalized each year. During follow-up, 311 (40.1%) patients died. The most common causes of hospitalization and death were cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, or other diseases of the circulatory system, causing 47.5% of hospitalizations and 42.4% of deaths. Seventy-seven major lower limb amputations were performed in 52 patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As patients undergoing invasive treatment of infrainguinal intermittent claudication have high morbidity and mortality, during 8\u2009years of follow-up, the indication for invasive treatment should be carefully weighed against concomitant comorbidities and the timing of this treatment optimized with regard to the patient\u2019s possibilities to enjoy positive treatment effects on quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050312120926782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,25]],"date-time":"2020-05-25T01:43:41Z","timestamp":1590371021000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Eight-year outcome after invasive treatment of infrainguinal intermittent claudication: A population-based analysis from the Swedish vascular register (Swedvasc)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Thordur","family":"Gunnarsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Helsingborg Hospital, Helsingborg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Gotts\u00e4ter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden"},{"name":"Vascular Center, Sk\u00e5ne University Hospital, Malm\u00f6, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Bergman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Primary Health Care Unit, Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Institute of Medicine, The Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Tro\u00ebng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, Vascular Surgery, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5798-8687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hans","family":"Lindgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Helsingborg Hospital, Helsingborg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2050312120926782","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61249-0"},{"key":"bibr2-2050312120926782","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.116.303849"},{"key":"bibr3-2050312120926782","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2007.02.004"},{"key":"bibr4-2050312120926782","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehx095"},{"key":"bibr5-2050312120926782","unstructured":"The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care.
