Resumo
Contexto: O índice tornozelo-braquial (ITB) é um exame de rastreamento da doença arterial obstrutiva periférica, sendo também utilizado para avaliar o risco cardiovascular. Em diabéticos, a interpretação do exame é difícil pela possibilidade de índice aberrante devido à calcificação da camada média arterial. Objetivo: Encontrar a frequência de ITB aberrante em diabéticos e verificar sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas. Métodos: Estudo descritivo com entrevista e aferição de ITB de 309 pacientes diabéticos tipo 2, acompanhados no centro de referência Centro de Diabetes e Endocrinologia da Bahia (CEDEBA), Salvador, BA, Brasil. Foi estudada a frequência e a relação entre o ITB aberrante e variáveis sociodemográficas, como sexo, idade e renda familiar. Utilizou-se um ponto de corte para ITB aberrante de 1,3. As variáveis contínuas foram dicotomizadas. Para a análise estatística, utilizou-se o teste do qui-quadrado, considerando significante um p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: Entre os 309 pacientes entrevistados, 65% eram mulheres, 26% haviam cursado ensino médio completo e 77% tinham renda familiar igual ou menor que três salários mínimos. A frequência de ITB aberrante ≥ 1,3 foi 16,5%. Não foram encontradas correlações estatisticamente significantes nas análises bivariadas entre o ITB aberrante (≥ 1,3) e as variáveis sociodemográficas estudadas (sexo, idade, tempo de duração de diabetes melito, renda familiar e escolaridade). Conclusões: A frequência de ITB aberrante entre diabéticos foi de 16,5%. Não encontramos correlação entre as variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, idade, tempo de DM, escolaridade e renda familiar) e a ocorrência de ITB aberrante.

Abstract
Background: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a screening test for peripheral arterial occlusive disease and it can also be used to assess cardiovascular risk. However, in diabetics it can be difficult to interpret because the index may be excessively high because of calcification of the arterial tunica media. Objective: To determine the frequency of high ABI in diabetics and to test for associations with sociodemographic variables. Methods: This was a descriptive study in which 309 type 2 diabetes patients were interviewed and had their ABI measured. The sample was recruited at a referral center for diabetes and endocrinology (CEDEBA) in Salvador, BA, Brazil. The frequency of excessively high ABI and its relationships with sociodemographic variables such as sex, age and family income were studied. The cutoff point chosen for excessively high ABI was 1.3. Continuous variables were dichotomized. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis and results with p ≤ 0.05 were considered significant. Results: A total of 309 patients were interviewed, 65% were women, 26% had graduated from secondary education and 77% had a family income equal to or less than three times the minimum salary. The frequency of excessively high ABI (≥ 1.3) was 16.5%. Bivariate analyses detected no statistically significant correlations between excessively high ABI (≥ 1.3) and the sociodemographic variables studied (sex, age, time since diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, family income and educational level). Conclusions: The frequency of high ABI among this sample of diabetics was 16.5%. We did not detect correlations between the sociodemographic variables (sex, age, duration of DM, educational level and family income) and high ABI.
