Abstract

Aims and objectives To examine the domains and the domain‐specific characteristics within a peripheral arterial disease health‐related quality of life framework for their usefulness in defining critical limb ischaemia health‐related quality of life. Background Critical Limb Ischaemia presents a highly individualised set of personal and health circumstances. Treatment options include conservative management, revascularisation or amputation. However, the links between treatment decisions and quality of life require further investigation. Design The framework for this integrative review was the peripheral arterial disease‐specific health‐related quality of life domains identified by Treat‐Jacobson et al. Results The literature expanded and refined Treat‐Jacobson's framework by modifying the characteristics to better describe health‐related quality of life in critical limb ischaemia. Conclusions Given that critical limb ischaemia is a highly individualised situation with powerful health‐related quality of life implications, further research focusing on patient and family‐centred decision‐making relating to therapeutic options and advanced care planning is required. Relevance to clinical practice A critical limb ischaemia‐specific, health‐related quality of life tool is required to capture both the unique characteristics of this disorder, and the outcomes for active or conservative care among this complex group of patients.
