Summary

This completed study tested a 4-week educational program for 184 people with critical limb ischemia, a severe form of peripheral artery disease that can lead to amputation. The program included group sessions, digital materials, and peer support to teach patients about their condition and lifestyle changes. Researchers measured hospitalizations and quality of life over 12 months to see if the program made a difference.
