Abstract
A second year (Package 11) project dissertation. Project paper (Doctor of Medicine (MD)) - Universiti Putra Malysia, 2013. Background: Chronic venous disease is a common condition with major socioeconomic impact due to its high prevalence. It manifest by a range of signs, the most obvious are varicose veins and venous ulceration. However, there is little literature on Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) in our country. From observational studies, many patients with CVD present late to the hospital when the disease is already in severe state (e.g eczema, ulcer), and there are no data if the symptoms and complications of CVD are amenable to treatment. Objective: The aim of this study is to study the epidemiology (gender, age, ethnicity), etiology, presentation, results of management of ulcers and the association between epidemiology and etiology with the presentation of Chronic Venous Disease(CVD). Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in Hospital Pantai Ayer Keroh Melaka. All CVD patients' medical reports from 2010 to 2013 were extracted and reviewed. A total of 186 patients' medical reports were included after fulfilling the inclusive and exclusive criteria. Data were collected and entered in a proforma. Results: Majority were female patients (71.5%) and aged between 40 to 59 years old (58.1 %). Most of the etiology for the CVD is primary (90.9%) and 41.4% presented in C2 (varicose vein), while only 9.1 % of patients have previous or current DVT. Of the patients that presented with venous ulcers, 52.8% underwent EVLT and have 89.3% of healing rate. On further analysis, there is a significant association between age and presentation of CVD (p = 0.026). Conclusion: The presentation of CVD was significantly affected by age but not by gender, ethnicity and etiology. Majority of venous ulcers can be healed with proper intervention and EVLT improve healing ofu1cer effectively. Key words: chronic venous disease (CVD), varicose veins, endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
