For each upper limb, impedance was measured for the whole arm, hand and four 10\u2009cm segments of the arm, commencing at the ulnar styloid. Interlimb impedance ratios for corresponding locations were calculated and compared to previously determined, normatively based thresholds based on 2SD and 3SD above the mean. Segmental BIS classified 19% more women with lymphedema than 3SD whole arm thresholds and the same number as 2SD whole arm thresholds. Segmental BIS identified localized lymphedema and patterns in lymphedema distribution that were undetectable by whole arm BIS. Neither 3SD whole arm nor segmental BIS thresholds found lymphedema where it was not present; however, 2SD whole arm thresholds alone classified one woman in the\n                      <jats:sc>\n                        <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">at-risk<\/jats:italic>\n                      <\/jats:sc>\n                      group as having lymphedema.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Segmental BIS classified as many or more cases of lymphedema than whole arm BIS thresholds without finding lymphedema where it was likely not present while also providing additional information regarding the distribution of lymphedema within the limb.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lrb.2017.0030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,28]],"date-time":"2017-09-28T11:41:57Z","timestamp":1506598917000},"page":"349-355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Segmental Bioimpedance Informs Diagnosis of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Brenda J.","family":"Svensson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"Lourdes Hospital and Community Health Service","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth S.","family":"Dylke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leigh C.","family":"Ward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"The University of Queensland","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon L.","family":"Kilbreath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0098-9134-20050501-07"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1413.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.sap.0000257149.42922.7e"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9610(99)00185-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1245\/s10434-009-0778-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cam4.691"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","first-page":"234","article-title":"Economic benefits of BIS-aided assessment of post-BC lymphedema in the United States","volume":"18","author":"Bilir SP","year":"2012","unstructured":"Bilir SP, , DeKoven MP, , Munakata J.
