^†Odds ratios for sex, age, and ethnicity are each adjusted for the other two demographic variables.

^‡Compared with the normal visible group.

^§Compared with the normal + spider veins visible groups.

^¶Compared with the normal + spider veins + varicose veins visible groups.

^#Compared with the normal functional group.

^††Compared with the normal + superficial functional disease functional groups.

^‡‡Compared with no edema.

^§§Compared with no thrombotic events.

^¶¶Compared with no deep events.
