前言：外周动脉疾病(PAD)是日益加重的公共卫生负担。PAD的发生和发展受血管危险因素管理和生活方式改变的影响。然而，与心脏病和中风等其他疾病相比，公众对PAD的认识较低，这些疾病一直是广泛的公共卫生运动的主题。本研究旨在了解目前住院患者对PAD的认知水平。方法：这项横断面、以三级医院为基础的描述性研究于2019年进行，历时6个月。两名调查者以面对面访谈的方式对3种不同医院的患者进行了调查，包括血管诊所(VC)、心脏病诊所(CVC)和急诊科(ED)。结果：总共访问了150名患者。与包括中风和心肌梗死在内的心血管疾病(71%)和心肌梗死(63%)相比，参与者对血管疾病(32%的PAD和21%的AAA)的总体认识较低。血管性疾病患者对PAD的知晓率(51%)高于CVC和ED患者(p=
Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a growing public health burden. The development and progression of PAD is influenced by vascular risk factor management and lifestyle changes. However, public awareness of PAD is low compared with other conditions such as heart disease and stroke, which have been the subject of widespread public health campaigns. This study aimed to determine current levels of PAD awareness among hospital patients.Methods: This cross-sectional, tertiary hospital-based, descriptive study was conducted over 6 months in 2019. Two investigators administered the survey in face-to-face interviews to patients attending 3 different hospital-based settings including vascular clinics (VC), cardiology clinics (CVC), and Emergency Department (ED).Results: A total of 150 patients were interviewed. Participants demonstrated low overall awareness of vascular disease (32% PAD and 21% AAA) compared to cardiovascular disease including stroke (71%) and myocardial infarction (63%). Awareness of PAD was higher in vascular patients (51%) compared to CVC and ED patients (p=
