Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines
https://t.me/med1917
Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit,
and judicious use of the current best evidence in making
decisions about the care of individual patients.
1
Listing evidence-based guidelines of the American Venous Forum has
been a hallmark of the Handbook, and the fth edition is
no exception. At the end of each chapter a table summarizes the relevant clinical practice guidelines.
The guidelines are based on the GRADE system.
2,3
The
grade of recommendation of a guideline can be Strong (1)
or Weak (2), depending on the risk and burden of a particu-
lar diagnostic test or a therapeutic procedure to the patient
vs. the expected benet. It also considers patient values and
preferences and other contextual factors (Table0.1).
The implications of a Grade 1 or Strong recommen-
dation are that the potential benets of an intervention
clearly outweigh the potential harms and burdens. Virtu-
ally all well-informed patients would choose such an intervention, and the physician can condently recommend the
treatment. In contrast, for Grade 2 or Weak recommen-
dations, the benets and risks will be more balanced or
uncertain; thus, different patients could choose different
treatment options according to their values and preference.
The physician must be familiar with the underlying data
before making such a recommendation and should counsel
patients appropriately. The word “Recommend” is used for
Grade 1, Strong recommendation, and the word “Suggest”
is used for Grade 2, Weak recommendation.
Letters A, B, and C mark the quality of evidence (A,
High quality, B, Moderate quality, C, Low to very low quality). The pyramid of evidence illustrates the type of studies
that provide different levels of evidence to formulate the
guidelines (Figure0.1).

0.1 The pyramid of scientic evidence.
With level A evidence, condence in the treatment effect
is high, and further research would be unlikely to change
the estimate of effect. In contrast, if the level of evidence is
C, further research would very likely affect the estimate of
the effect. Both the strength of the recommendations and
the quality of evidence are color-coded in the guideline
tables for easy recognition (Table0.1).
In contrast to several previous practice guidelines,
graded recommendations in this edition, like the most
recent two guidelines published on chronic venous dis-
4,5
are most trustworthy since all are supported by
ease,
recent systematic reviews or meta-analysis to minimize
bias. Some of the guidelines in this book were adopted
from widely accepted and trusted multi-institutional or
international guidelines,
6,7
all based on systematic reviews
of the relevant topics.
When a systematic review was not available, ungraded
consensus statements were made, based on a comprehensive review of the literature, combined with unanimous
consensus of an expert writing panel of published guidelines. Some of these topics, however, had minimal or
low-quality evidence. Ungraded Good Practice Statements
are recommendations that are supported only by indirect
evidence. The topic, however, is usually noncontroversial
and agreed upon by most stakeholders. The Implementation Remarks, published in previous guidelines and
included in this volume, contain technical information
that supports the implementation of specic recommendations.
Clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements,
published in the fth edition of the Handbook, should
not be used as dogma when a diagnostic test is selected
or a therapeutic procedure is performed. Scientic evidence
should always be combined with the clinical experience of
the physician, the patient’s values and preferences, the cost
of the procedure, and the availability of expertise and new
technology (Figure0.2).
Evidence-based guidelines provide the foundation for
best care. When planning care, we should recognize, however, that in most cases, guidelines are developed from the
results of studies of average, usually low- to moderate-risk
patients and that a deviation from the guidelines could be
necessary under unusual circumstances. Making the most
appropriate decision also requires patient-centered communication skills by the health care provider, who is aware
of the informed preferences of his or her patient. Optimal
patient care therefore requires both evidence-based medicine and shared decision making. Shared decision making
is essential, humane and kind, and “the sort of thing that
breathes life, joy and purpose into the practice of medi-
8
cine.”
It is the intention of the authors and editors of this volume to help in the evaluation and treatment of patients
with those ideals in mind, which were suggested by Dr. William J. Mayo already in 1910, that “The best interest of the
patient is the only interest to be considered.”

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Since this handbook focuses on the evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of venous and lymphatic disease, this
chapter on the history of these disorders will emphasize
methods investigators employed to provide evidence for the
pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Fundamental
to this understanding is how the perception of disease etiology during a specic era inuences treatment. Given the
space limitations of the handbook, it will rely on the premise that “the guiding principles behind all historical writing
must be selection and interpretation.”
cess will focus the discussion of history to events before the
twenty-rst century, the latter of which are contemporary
periods covered in each of the individual chapters of the
handbook. The chapter will be divided into venous disease:
acute and chronic and lymphedema.

1.2.1 The earliest evidence
The recognition of varicose veins can be dated back to
the Ebers papyrus (1550 ) (Figure1.1). In this written
record, as one of the two oldest preserved medical documents, varicose veins (VVs) are described as “torturous
and solid with many knots, as if blown up by air.”
discovery of a mummy from the New Kingdom or Egyptian empire (1580–1085), provided the rst evidence of
a venous ulcer (VLU).
1.2.2 The Graeco-Roman period
(332 BC–395 AD):The intertwining
of philosophy and medical thought
The Greeks were the rst to view disease as an actual illness
rather than as a punishment from the gods (Figure1.2).
The Greeks’ contribution was based on philosophy with a
rational system of thought, which was integrated into medical culture. Scientic inquiry to a great degree replaced
superstition. Drawing on this logic, the Greeks explored
the relationship not only between cause and effect but also
on how certain treatments resulted in cure or failure.

The

Venous disease was one of the principal medical diseases of that time. Hippocrates, the “father of medicine,”
recommended venous treatment because of its causal
relationship to VLUs. He introduced vein puncture, cautery, and compressive bandages as forms of treatment and
taught that standing up can aggravate VLUs. Fear of hemorrhage dictated that only minor operations be performed.
Hippocrates was inuenced by the prevalent theory of
the day in developing his evidence for treatment of disease.
The Pythagorean theory held that Nature was made of four
elements (water, earth, wind, and re) and would serve as
the basis for Hippocrates’s humoral doctrine—the body
consisted of four uids, or “humors” (black bile, yellow
bile, phlegm, and blood) (Figure1.3). An excess or decit
of one of the four humors was thought to be responsible
for disease. Specic to venous disease, Hippocrates believed
that varices were lled with black bile but were outside
main channels. As a result, physicians should avoid pressing humors back into the body because ulcers served as a
drain to the outside for these humors. The humoral theory
did not depend on religious beliefs or magic, but rather
clinical signs with rational conclusions. It was to dominate
medical thought for the next 15 centuries.
