SHOWME-PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease)

The overall goal of SHOWME-PAD is to make the existing evidence-base on treatment outcomes -focusing on health status outcomes that reflect the patients' perspective - more transparently available to patients and providers, such that more informed, evidence-based shared treatment decisions occur.
