It contains sections on leg ulcers and other wound types. Within the section of leg ulcer diagnosis and assessment I was able to find the following systematic review.
Caruana MF, Bradbury AW, Adam DJ. The Validity, Reliability, Reproducibility and Extended Utility of Ankle to Brachial Pressure Index in Current Vascular Surgical Practice, European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2005;29:443-451. A systematic search was undertaken to locate articles addressing the validity, reliability, and utility of ankle to brachial pressure index for clinical and research use. This article provides a great deal of information about ABPI suggesting that it is useful in evaluating people with venous leg ulcers, atypical symptoms, and asymptomatic PAD.
Thanks WoundPedia. I recommend it!
