“…The CEAP classification itself is a descriptive instrument; it does not register symptoms. Furthermore, it is not a severity score, which means it does not allow longitudinal follow‐up of venous disease. The EQ‐5D® index score was used to reflect the general outcome.…”

“…In patients with chronic venous disease, it is reported in many studies that since it affects both physical and psychological health negatively, it reduces life quality. (14,15) In a study conducted by Dias et al, the quality of life in participants with and without venous ulcer was compared and the group with venous ulcer was discovered to have a connection with lower physical health and insufficient functional capacity. (16) It was noted in this study that when symptom severity and rate increased in patients, their quality of life decreased and they had lower social and psychological effects.…”

In this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship among the quality of life, functional capacity, physical activity and performance levels of individuals with chronic venous disease (CVD). Methods: 210 individuals with CVD grade I-V according to the CEAP classification were included in the study. Functional capacity of individuals was evaluated by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturations were assessed before and after the 6MWT. Physical activity level International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), performance level sit-to-stand test and Quality of life VEnous INsufficiency Epidemiologic and Economic Study on Quality of Life Questionnaire (VEINES-QoL). The data for the study was calculated using the SPSS 20.0 package program. Results: The study consisted of 143 (%68,1) female, 67 (%31,9) male individuals. The average of age was 39,2±10,1 and body mass index (BMI) was 27,9±6,32. Quality of life has significant positive and low correlation with performance level (r = 0.161 p <0.05), physical activity (r = 0.178 p <0.05) and functional capacity (r = 0.171 p <0.05). In addition, there was a significant positive and moderate correlation in functional capacity with performance (r = 0.521 p <0.001). Conclusions: CVD has been reported as an important health problem that negatively affects the life quality of individuals (1). In individuals with chronic venous disease, the quality of life decreases when physical activity, functional capacity and performance are low. Considering the negative impact on public health due to high prevalence, we think that the data obtained in more cases can explain the evaluations in this study better.

“…The CEAP classification system is an objective and well-constructed Well-being and Quality of Life -Medical Perspective instrument, although it has shortage in detecting key symptoms of venous disease. It is reported that the deviations of CEAP scores between different physicians are not significant [41].…”

Chronic venous diseases of the lower limbs are one of the common and disabling conditions with clinical signs and symptoms ranging from spider veins, to varicose veins or even to venous ulceration, effecting patient's quality of life negatively, particularly in relation to the domains of pain, physical function and mobility. It is not only a serious medical condition but also an undeniable physical and psychosocial problem and has a severe impact on a patient's quality of life. Quality of life is defined as individuals' perception of their position in life and refers to the patient's ability to enjoy normal life activities. It is a common and subjective term that has a number of dimensions described as patient-reported outcomes. There are numerous factors that affect person's quality of life negatively. Some of those are social relationships, economic status, physical health, psychological status, environmental conditions (living place or work), pain and especially chronic diseases. We conducted a review about quality of life in chronic venous diseases of the lower limbs to identify how person's quality of life is affected. Therefore, this chapter will focus on the effect of the chronic venous diseases on the person's quality of life.
