ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, compression therapy has attracted gradually increasing clinical attention in lower extremity venous diseases. However, basic concepts and clear nomenclature, standard treatment methods, and consistent product standards for pressure equipment are lacking. Therefore, developing clinical guidelines for compression therapy is essential to improving the treatment of venous diseases.METHODS:
Our panel generated strong (Grade I), moderate (Grade IIa and IIb), and weak (Grade III) recommendations based on high quality (Class A), moderate quality (Class B), and low quality (Class C) evidence, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) grading system.RESULTS:
The panels made 30 recommendations from current evidence, focusing on seven fields of lower extremity venous disease (venous thromboembolism, post-thrombotic syndrome, chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, hemangioma and vascular malformations, lymphedema, and venous ulcers) and 18 topics.CONCLUSIONS:
Of the 30 recommendations made across the 18 topics, 7 were strong (Grade I) and 17 were based on high quality (Class A) evidence, highlighting the need for further research of the use of compression therapy for .
