Viennese Registry on Patients With Chronic Critical Limb Ischemia
Austria400 participantsStarted 2011-01
Plain-language summary
The rationale of this study is to establish a registry to detect and follow patients with CLI treated in Vienna. The Vienna CLI registry is meant to document the incidence, prevalence, and actual outcome of CLI patients in a real world setting and should serve as a tool for the evaluation of medical, endovascular and surgical interventions. It will help determining the prognosis of individual patients and have impact on economic and political decisions in Vienna concerning this disease and the related costs.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This registry is tracking death, leg amputation, stroke, and heart attack as its main outcomes — what does that tell us about how serious my condition is, and how does joining this registry compare to just following my current treatment plan?
2Since this is a registry study rather than a treatment trial, does joining it mean I would receive any different care, or would it simply involve my doctors recording information about what happens to me over time?
3The recruitment status for this registry is listed as unknown — is this study still actively enrolling patients, and if so, is it something my care team at this hospital could enroll me in?
4Given that my condition involves a skin defect on my lower limb that has lasted more than two weeks, what are the standard treatment options available to me right now, and would participating in this registry affect access to any of them?
5The registry is specifically focused on patients in Vienna — does my location or the hospital where I'm being treated affect whether this registry is even an option worth exploring for my situation?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
