Overview

Develops a web calculator to predict lower limb varicose veins risk in patients, suggesting improved screening tools for healthcare providers.

Key Points

  • The primary aim is to create and validate a predictive model for the risk of developing lower limb varicose veins.
  • Convenience sampling of 421 patients from a health check-up center and vascular surgery outpatient clinic.
  • Utilized univariate and logistic regression analysis for constructing the prediction model.
  • Developed a web calculator for visualizing the prediction results and assessing risk.
  • Internally validated the model to ensure reliability.
  • The prediction model demonstrated reliable discrimination and calibration.
  • It effectively identifies patients at risk for lower limb varicose veins.
  • The web calculator serves as a practical tool for primary healthcare providers.
