In diabetic foot screening (DFS), both absolute systolic toe pressure (ASTP) and toe-brachial index (TBI) can detect ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI)-determined peripheral arterial disease (PAD), results of a Singapore study have shown. The optimal threshold values derived from a multiethnic Asian diabetic population are <0.7 for TBI and <95.5 mm Hg for ASTP.
