Linear regression analysis with Lymph-ICF difference as dependent variable

Independent variable Lymph-ICF score differencea
Bb 95% CI P-value
Number of LVAs  − 2.89  − 5.29 to − 0.50 0.018
ICG stage (1–3 vs 4–5)  − 3.22  − 10.20 to 3.75 0.361
Circumference difference  − 0.09  − 0.34 to 0.15 0.448
Follow-up (months) 0.03  − 0.28 to 0.34 0.852
Compression garment (no vs yes)c  − 5.24  − 11.98 to 1.50 0.126

aLymph-ICF score difference is calculated by subtracting the post-OR lymph-ICF score from the pre-OR lymph-ICF score

bUnstandardized beta (B):Calculated using linear regression analysis. A negative value means a decrease in Lymph-ICF, representing an increase in Quality of Life

cNo: discontinuation of compression garment, Yes: partial discontinuation and continuation of compression garment
