Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Zurich Claudication Questionnaire(ZCQ)

    The questionnaire quantifies severity of symptoms, physical function characteristics, and patient's satisfaction. The scale relates to symptoms over the past month. The result is expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible score. The score increases with worsening disability. An individual patient treatment will be considered a success if they meet at least two of three components defined as an improvement of ≥ 0.5 as compared to preoperative score for the symptom severity and physical function and an of \< 2.5 points for patient satisfaction at 24 months.
