Task: Question Generation
Input (English): To evaluate the superiority of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) before, during and after peripheral transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in comparison with ankle brachial index (ABI) in patients with diabetes.', '40 consecutive patients with diabetes treated by PTA where included. This study shows results before, during and after PTA and their progression for 8 weeks.', 'The TcPO2 increased from 28.11\u2009±\u20098.1 to 48.03\u2009±\u20098.4\u2009mmHg, 8 weeks after PTA (p\u2009<\u20090.001). The ABI increased from 0.48\u2009±\u20090.38 to 0.77\u2009±\u20090.39 after PTA (p\u2009<\u20090.001). After PTA, the stenosis of the vessel decreased from 58.33\u2009±\u200920.07% to 21.87\u2009±\u200913.57% (p\u2009<\u20090.001). TcPO2 was determined in all the patients, but ABI could not be determined in all patients. Furthermore, we determined patients with "false negatives" with an improvement in ABI and "false positives" in 12.5% of patients. Additionally, in this study, we monitored TcPO2 while performing PTA, revealing variations in each phase of the radiological procedure.
Output (English): Does transcutaneous oxygen tension measurements following peripheral transluminal angioplasty procedure have more specificity and sensitivity than ankle brachial index?
