Disease management interventions for improving self-management in lower-limb peripheral arterial disease (Protocol)

Abstract

Evidence supports the use of chronic disease management interventions to improve self-management in chronic diseases other than PAD, however it is unclear what benefits these interventions offer for people with PAD. To our knowledge, there are no other systematic reviews of the evidence for chronic disease management interventions to improve self-management for lower-limb PAD. The objective of this review is to systematically review, synthesise and quantify the effects of non-pharmacological and non-surgical chronic disease management interventions targeting self-management for people with lower-limb PAD.
