Impact of Anxiety in Ambulatory Superficial Venous Surgery : A Prospective Study Using the HADS-A Scale.

Background: The aim of the present prospective clinical study is to evaluate the impact of the level of anxiety in patients undergoing ambulatory superficial venous surgery (SVS) and to select a specific group of patients who need more of our attention to reduce the postoperative adverse events.

Methods: Preoperative anxiety was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), especially the HADS-A (Anxiety subscale) in 340 consecutive patients undergoing elective SVS. Venous disease was assessed in all patients according to the established CEAP classification, the Venous Clinical Severity and the Venous Disability scores.
