Does skill and selection bias have least influence on motor unit action potential firing rate/frequency?
FR was the only satisfactorily reproduced parameter from QEMG of MUAPs between selectors, and least dependent on skill and/or selection bias. From this, FR appears a relatively objective parameter, while other parameters appear unduly influenced by EDXc skill and/or MUAP selection bias.
Female gender and frailty are both associated with increased risk of complications and death following infrainguinal vascular procedures with the highest risk in frail females. Further studies are needed to explore the mechanisms of interaction of gender and frailty and its effect on long-term outcomes for peripheral vascular disease.
