Fig. 3. — A, The average score for the different domains of the SF 36, preoperatively as well as 6 and 12 months after surgery, showed an improvement for all domains except general health. B, Analysis of the LEFS score hints toward no relevant difference in limb function after lymphatic reconstructive surgery. C, LYMPH-ICF-LL showed significant improvements regarding physical and mental function. Mean scores for general tasks, mobility activities, social life and the overall score also revealed an improvement in QOL without being statistical significant. D, Correlation analysis confirmed that there is no relationship between change in limb volume and improvement in QOL, which is shown for the LYMPH-ICF-LL.
