Disease location is associated with survival in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

However, there was a highly significant interaction ( P <0.001) such that the presence of both proximal and distal disease was not associated with higher risk than the presence of either disease separately (HR, 1.4 proximal only; HR, 1.9 distal only; HR, 2.2 proximal and distal).
