Description of impact
The 2012 NICE Clinical Guideline on the diagnosis and management of lower-limb peripheral arterial disease made a recommendation that patients with intermittent claudication be offered a 3-month supervised exercise programme as a first-line therapy. NICE commissioned a surveillance report, which was published in 2017, to see if there was sufficient new evidence to justify changing any of the recommendations, or adding new ones. A 2013 systematic review by Tew et al. on home-based exercise programmes was cited in this surveillance report, and helped inform the decision that there was insufficient new evidence to justify a changes of recommendations.| Category of impact | Health and welfare, Practitioners and professional services |
