Understanding lower leg volume measurements used in clinical studies focused on venous leg edema.

CONCLUSIONS: Patient heterogeneity and method of edema assessment impact clinical trial results. In particular, there are a number of error sources with several methods of assessment that can lead to variability in trial results. Consequently, pilot studies are required to validate new methods of edema assessment using innovative technologies. PMID: 30256052 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
