The role of inflow disease on patency of venous stents for post-thrombotic syndrome.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the risk of deep femoral vein (DFV) and/or femoral vein (FV) inflow disease on venous stent patency loss in post-thrombotic syndrome.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included limbs with iliofemoral and ilocaval stents for PTS. Single-vessel and double-vessel inflow disease was defined based on imaging of possible post-thrombotic changes in the DFV/FV.

Assessing health-related quality of life using the Wound-QoL-17 and the Wound-QoL-14-Results of the cross-sectional European HAQOL study using item response theory.

For assessing health-related quality of life in patients with chronic wounds, the Wound-QoL questionnaire has been developed. Two different versions exist: the Wound-QoL-17 and the Wound-QoL-14. For international and cross-cultural comparisons, it is necessary to demonstrate psychometric properties in an international study.

Quality of Life After Early Clot Removal for Acute Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Objective: To evaluate patient reported outcome measures after early clot removal for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), using the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).

Methods: Cross sectional design. Patients who underwent early clot removal between June 2012 and November 2021 were asked to complete the two questionnaires once.

Quality of Life after Venous Stenting for Post-thrombotic Syndrome and the Effect of Inflow Disease.

Objective: Patients with PTS experience an impaired quality of life (QoL). We aimed to study QoL in patients stented for post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and analyze the influence of different parameters.

Methods: Patients stented for PTS after iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis were asked to complete the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in this cross-sectional study.

Validation of the Wound-QoL-17 and the Wound-QoL-14 in a European sample of 305 patients with chronic wounds.

The Wound-QoL assesses the impact of chronic wounds on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A 17-item and a shortened 14-item version are available. The Wound-QoL-17 has been validated for multiple languages.
