SILVA PUPO, Milena; DEL RISCO TURINO, Alberto  y  GONZALEZ MOYA, Alejandro. Characterization of chronic deep venous insufficiency produced by valve reflux. AMC [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.30-41. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: venous diseases of the lower extremities have been described since ancient times; at present, they still frequently have an effect in patients and cause an important socioeconomic impact. Objective: to characterize the chronic deep venous insufficiency produced by valve reflux. Method: a descriptive, longitudinal study was carried out to all the patients that assisted to the consultation of angiology with the diagnosis of chronic deep venous insufficiency at Manuel Ascunce Domenech University Provincial Hospital of Camagüey, from March, 2012 to June, 2013. The universe was composed of 60 patients. A non-probabilistic sampling, including the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, was applied. The information obtained was processed through the statistical program SPSS-11.5 for Windows and through descriptive statistics to obtain distributions of frequencies and percents. The results of the study were presented in charts. Result: most of patients were female with 30 cases (61, 2 %). The ages between 46 and 55 years old predominated with 22 patients. Pathological family history of chronic venous insufficiency predominated with 44 cases (89, 8 %), followed by chronic constipation, obesity and sedentary lifestyle, pathological medical history of deep vein thrombosis, and multiparity. According to the clinical classification, most of cases were in stages three and four. Conclusions: chronic venous insufficiency is a progressive disease with a high morbidity and a great socioeconomic repercussion. Knowing the predisposing factors, as well as the ways of presentation of the disease, helps to prevent the advanced stages and improve the quality of life of patients.
