Growth factors for angiogenesis in peripheral arterial disease: Do you or a loved one been affected by peripheral arterial disease? Your input is needed on a review considering Growth factors for angiogenesis in peripheral arterial disease for people with peripheral arterial disease.

Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on whether therapy based on investigated growth factors promote the development of new blood vessels for people with peripheral arterial disease? I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Growth factors for angiogenesis in peripheral arterial disease.” 

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, peripheral arterial disease), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing peripheral arterial disease, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.  

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers. 

Thank you in advance for considering!
