Half of #CLTI patients are frail (CFS ≥5) and #frailty is associated with greater severity of limb-threat (⬆️WIfI score).

Our paper just published in the @avsgjournal 🧵

Opportunities for timely recognition of CLTI are potentially being missed. A great collaborative effort beteeen @GDresearchgroup and @LRWEUnit. Read more about it in @EJVES_ESVS https://t.co/Vvr1hedFnh

Well done. Much needed work on the epidemiology of major amputations in the U.K. @robsayers17 @VaLSAcademy @DrLauraGray @CoralJPepper

[George Davies Research Group @GDresearchgroup]

Well done to @AnnaMeffen for having her systematic review protocol (investigating the epidemiology of major amputations in the U.K.) accepted for publication in @BMJ_Open. The first of many! 👏 @VaLSAcademy @DrLauraGray @CoralJPepper @jsmhoughton

What’s the evidence for Vascular limb Salvage Clinics? The latest @GDresearchgroup systematic review by @AndrewNickinson and it’s #OpenAccess 👏👏👏

Well done to @AndrewNickinson for syst. r/v on dedicated limb salvage clinics. Take home msg: LSCs result in lower major amp. more study required to max. benefit. @VSGBI @GDresearchgroup @nas_vascular @a_saratzis @VascResearchNet @Jonnyboyle1 @VAPPG https://t.co/WwzwtodZ0q
