Fig 1 Calcification score of SFA (A) and BKA (B) in HD patients with and without peripheral arterial disease. *P < .001 vs PAD (−); #P < .001 vs Fontaine I. BKA, Below-knee arteries; HD, hemodialysis; SFA, superficial femoral artery.

Fig 2 Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. ROC curves for the predictive value of ABI/TBI and SFACS/BKACS on PAD and CLI. ROC curves for the predictive value of ABI and TBI (A-1) and SFACS and BKACS (A-2) for PAD, ABI, and TBI (B-1) and SFACS and BKACS (B-2) for CLI. ABI, Ankle-brachial pressure index; AUC, area under the curve; BKACS, below-knee artery calcification score; CLI, critical limb ischemia; PAD, peripheral arterial disease; SFACS, superficial femoral artery calcification score; TBI, toe-brachial pressure index.
