Abstract

Objectives: It is unclear whether reflux time independently correlates with severity of symptoms in patients with great saphenous vein reflux.

Methods: Eighty patients (mean age 64+/-12.7 years, 56% female) undergoing great saphenous vein (GSV) ablation for symptomatic reflux were assessed prospectively. Fifty-seven underwent ablation with radiofrequency, 23 with cyanoacrylate adhesive. Venous clinical severity score (VCSS) was assessed at, or prior to the time of ablation. The highest reflux time in the GSV was selected.

Results: VCSS values ranged from 2 to 20 (median 7). Mean reflux time was 5.3 s (+/-3.3). The Spearman rank correlation yielded a value of rs = -0.123, p (2-tailed) = .279, which was not significant. The patients with concomitant deep vein reflux had higher VCSS (p < .05). Analysis of patients with only superficial vein reflux (n = 45) also demonstrated a poor correlation between VCSS and reflux time (rs = -0.051, p (2-tailed) = .741).

Conclusion: This prospective study did not demonstrate a correlation between reflux time and VCSS.

隐静脉消融患者反流时间与静脉临床严重程度评分的相关性:一项前瞻性研究。

目的:尚不清楚反流时间是否与大隐静脉反流患者症状的严重程度独立相关。方法:对80例(平均年龄64±12.7岁，56%为女性)行大隐静脉(GSV)消融治疗症状性反流的患者进行前瞻性评估。57例行射频消融，23例行氰基丙烯酸酯胶粘剂消融。在消融时或消融前评估静脉临床严重程度评分(VCSS)。选择GSV内最高回流时间。结果:VCSS值范围为2 ~ 20(中位数为7)，平均反流时间为5.3 s(+/-3.3)。Spearman秩相关值rs = -0.123, p(双尾)= 0.279，无统计学意义。合并深静脉返流的患者VCSS较高(p < 0.05)。对仅有浅表静脉反流的患者(n = 45)的分析也显示VCSS与反流时间之间的相关性较差(rs = -0.051, p(双尾)= .741)。结论:这项前瞻性研究没有证明反流时间与VCSS之间的相关性。

期刊介绍： The leading scientific journal devoted entirely to venous disease, Phlebology is the official journal of several international societies devoted to the subject. It publishes the results of high quality studies and reviews on any factor that may influence the outcome of patients with venous disease. This journal provides authoritative information about all aspects of diseases of the veins including up to the minute reviews, original articles, and short reports on the latest treatment procedures and patient outcomes to help medical practitioners, allied health professionals and scientists stay up-to-date on developments.
