摘要

Owing to the aging population, patients are increasingly undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). CLTI onset causes patients to become increasingly frail and less able to perform daily activities, preventing their discharge home. However, the association of discharge destination with clinical backgrounds and outcomes in these patients has not been fully evaluated. In this study, data from 606 patients with CLTI who underwent EVT between March 2021 and December 2023 and survived to discharge were obtained from a multicenter registry (mean age, 74.5 years; 61.4% men). Non-home discharge was defined as transfer to another hospital or nursing home. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of non-home discharge. Mortality rates within two years of discharge were compared between the home and non-home discharge groups. Of the 606 patients, 108 underwent non-home discharge. Multivariate analysis identified mild frailty (odds ratio [OR] 2.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.34–4.02, p = 0.003), advanced frailty (OR 3.50, 95% CI 1.95–6.28, p < 0.001), a Hemoglobin level < 11 g/dL (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.15–3.02, p = 0.011), and a Wound, Ischemia, and Foot Infection grade 4 (OR 7.27, 95% CI 2.16–24.46, p = 0.001) as significant predictors of non-home discharge. During the two-year follow-up period, 161 patients died. Cumulative all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the non-home discharge group than in the home discharge group (58.6% vs. 33.7%; log-rank p < 0.001). The findings of this study reveal that non-home discharge occurred in one-sixth of patients with CLTI undergoing EVT, and was linked to a more severe clinical status and worse prognosis than home discharge.
