Patients and Methods
This prospective study was performed on a total of 224 participants between June 2013 and June 2014. The participants were splitted up two groups: Group 1 (PAD group) included 112 patients with peripheral arterial disease (mean age: 57±12 years, 84 males) without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, and Group 2 (control group) included 112 participants (mean age: 54±11 years, 80 males) with normal physical examination and duplex ultrasonography findings for PAD. Groups were compared with each other according to the clinical and demographic characteristics, levels of some biochemical parameters, and particularly HbA1c levels. Thus, the importance of HbA1c levels in patients with PAD was investigated.
