  • Title: [The epidemiology and socio-economics of venous diseases in Germany].
    Author: Wienert V.
    Journal: Phlebologie; 1993; 46(2):225-33. PubMed ID: 8362005.
    Abstract:
    The author reports the conclusions of a multicentre investigation lead in Germany. According to this study, varicose veins are more frequent in women than in men, either in ordinary population or in in-patients. Adults are not exclusively the only ones who suffer from varicose veins; children often suffer from them too. People suffer equally from phlebitis or post phlebitis syndromes. Moreover, heredity and obesity tend to favour this tendency. Thus, the socio-economic impact is so important that the cost of treatment, hospitalization and the social cost of sick-leave must be taken into consideration. So, it is necessary for the Authorities to prevent venous diseases and be aware of the importance of phlebology.
