Abstract

BACKGROUND: Superficial venous surgery (SVS) is associated with a significant improvement in disease-specific health related quality of life (HR-QoL) but the effect on generic HR-QoL remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of SVS on responses to the Short Form [SF]-36, the most widely used generic HR-QoL instrument. METHOD: Two hundred and three patients undergoing SVS completed the SF-36 pre-operatively and 24 months post-operatively. Scores for the 8 SF-36 domains [physical (PF) and social functioning (SF), role limitation due to physical (RP) and emotional (RE) problems, mental health (MH), vitality (V), pain (P), and general health perception (HP)] were calculated and normalised using UK standard data. RESULTS: Pre-operatively, patients scored significantly lower (worse) than the general UK population in PF, RP and P. Surgery was associated with a significant improvement in PF and P (45.3 vs. 42.5 and 48.9 vs. 43.8 postop vs. preop, p
