    Abstract:
    In Piedmont, the incidence of superficial and deep forms is the same percentage-wise. In the Trento area, however, deep forms are more common, though no significant differences can be discerned with respect to the side affected, the site (other than that related to the type of phlebitis), or the symptoms. At least one complication was noted in 241-261 and 27-96 cases in Piedmont and Trento respectively. The treatment initially employed proved inadequate. The risks involved are known solely with respect to patients with complications. The resort to surgical management was much more frequent in the Trento region. An attempt is made to evaluate the risk factors associated with thrombophlebitis of the lower limbs, and the measure of agreement between the aetiopathogenetic, clinical and therapeutic data obtained for the two regions.
