Health status will be measured by<br /><br>the translated Dutch version of the PAQ, an disease-specific instrument for<br /><br>assessing health status in patients with PAD, and the Dutch version of the<br /><br>EQ-5D, a standardized, generic instrument for describing and valuing health.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Delirium (scores on the Delirium Scale > 12); mortality (both cardiac and<br /><br>non-cardiac); morbidity (i.e. a composite of rehospitalisation due to failed<br /><br>grafts). Data for these endpoints will be retrieved from the patients' medical<br /><br>records and assessed 2 years after surgery, including also the date of the<br /><br>event. </p><br>
