Semaglutide significantly reduced the risk of major limb events (LEs) compared with control interventions, with an odds ratio of 0.70 (95% CI 0.60–0.82; P < 0.0001).

Semaglutide may be an effective treatment option for reducing the risk of PAD-related complications in patients with diabetes or obesity.
