Abstract
Background: The incidence of ulceration in varicose vein patients is on an increasing trend. The predisposing factors of venous ulceration is less understood. In this study we have tried to analyze the risk factors for development of ulcer in patients with varicose veins. Materials and Methods: This is a case control study conducted under department of General Surgery, Government Medical College Trivandrum. A total of 150 patients were studied. Equal number of males and females were included in the study. Objectives: The objective of our study was to find out the factors associated with increased risk of ulceration in patients with varicose veins. Result and Conclusion: The various risk factors like smoking, increased BMI, venous reflux, dermatitis and flat foot were analysed. Obesity and superficial venous reflux were not significantly associated with increased risk of ulceration in our study.
