This issue of the Compression Bulletin contains interesting
data concerning the prescription of medical compression
stockings after deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in different countries.
Susan Kahn and co-workers from Montreal published the
results of a Canadian survey in which doctors and patients
had been interviewed on their practices and perceptions
regarding the use of compression stockings after DVT. As you
can see in the first abstract of this issue the acceptance of
compression therapy by the colleagues was surprisingly low.
In general physicians highly underestimated the degree of
patients’ compliance.
The authors kindly allowed us to translate their original
questionnaire for the prescribers into different languages and
to distribute it by Compression Bulletin among colleagues
worldwide.
