Abstract

Abstract: The diagnostic workup of primary lymphedema includes lymphoscintigraphy, a diagnostic test that provides objective data derived from the characteristics of the lymphatic flow and the lymphatic nodes. Several empirical scoring systems have been proposed with the aim of harmonizing the procedure. Here we comment the latest one, reflecting on the relevance of these tools to make possible multicenter research, based on intraobserver and interobserver reliability with the aim to, in the long run, improve patient outcomes.

淋巴显像评价原发性淋巴水肿：一个旨在协调程序和解释和增加可重复性的评分系统。

摘要：原发性淋巴水肿的诊断检查包括淋巴显像，这是一种从淋巴流动和淋巴结特征中获得客观数据的诊断试验。为了协调这一过程，已经提出了几个经验评分系统。在这里，我们评论最新的一个，反映了这些工具的相关性，使多中心研究成为可能，基于观察者内部和观察者之间的可靠性，目的是，从长远来看，改善患者的结果。
