Abstract

Social determinants of health (SDOHs) are broadly defined as nonmedical factors that impact the outcomes of one's health. SDOHs have been increasingly recognized in the literature as profound and modifiable factors on the outcomes of vascular care in peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) despite surgical and technological advancements. In this paper, we briefly review the SDOH and its impact on the management and outcome of patients with CLTI. We highlight the importance of understanding how SDOH impacts our patient population so the vascular community may provide more effective, inclusive, and equitable care.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
