Summary

This study looks at how anxiety and depression influence shared decision-making in patients aged 65 and older with critical limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI), a severe form of leg artery disease. Researchers will interview patients, their carers, and healthcare staff to understand the challenges. The goal is to improve how treatment options are discussed and decided.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how doctors and older patients with anxiety or depression make treatment decisions together, potentially leading to better care and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 30 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It aims to understand the process, not test a treatment.
