Rate of change per year on lower extremity measurements, ADL episodes, and stage of lymphedema during and post-lymphedema management study of 117 lymphedema patients, Léogane, Haiti, 1995–2008^*

Outcome	Rate of change per year during lymphedema management study (1995–1998)	P	Rate of change per year post-lymphedema management study (2000–2008)	P
Foot circumference†	–0.23	< 0.01	–0.12	0.10
Ankle circumference‡	–0.37	0.01	–0.18	0.23
Leg circumference§	–0.20	0.18	–0.13	0.46
Volume displacement¶	45.01	0.07	56.69	0.02
ADL episodes#	0.59	< 0.01	1.28	< 0.01

^*Adjusted for the same model specific variables as the mass drug administration models by using a generalized estimating equations (GEEs) repeated measures linear regression unless noted otherwise below. ADL = adenolymphangitis.

^†Circumference (in cm) of the foot 10 cm from the tip of the first toe.

^‡Circumference (in cm) of the ankle 10 cm from the floor.

^§Circumference (in cm) of the ankle 25 cm from the floor.

^¶Amount of water (in mL) displaced from a standard volume of water.

^#Rate of change reported is a rate ratio using a GEE repeated measures Poisson regression model. Rate defined as the number of ADL episodes per year.
