About this trial
A prospective cohort study of patients with primary varicose veins to assess the morbidity, risk factors and development of chronic lower limb vein disease.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
A family members of the researcher (spouse, childrens, brothers and sisters, parents) or the researcher himself
The possibility of annual clinical and ultrasound assessment of the venous system of the observed individuals
Disqualifiers
Any invasive treatment of the chronic venous disorder in anamnesis
Venous thrombosis in the anamnesis or at the time of inclusion
Trial population
The main cohort is formed from those who do not have CVD, who are affected by different factors that we register (various physical activities, the presence or absence of pregnancy, etc.). An additional cohort is formed from those who have CVD at the time of inclusion. The goal is to track the natural evolution (progression) of the disease, to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of complications. An extremely important criterion for the formation of the study population is the possibility to control the lower legs veins of observed individuals by a qualified vascular specialist. To date, a qualitative assessment of veins according to the CEAP classification is a weak point in longitudinal epidemiological studies.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of Chronic Venous Disease
Number of Participants with the first identified signs of chronic venous disease according to CEAP classification (telangiectasia, varicose veins, edema)

Progression of CVD will be measured as a change in clinical class of CVD according to CEAP classification in every individual affected by CVD
Incidence of chronic venous insufficiency
Number of Participants with the first identified sign of chronic venous insufficiency (venous edema, venous eczema, hyperpigmentation of the skin, lipodermatosclerosis, venous ulcer)
Incidence of superficial vein thrombosis
