The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence and the impact of chronic edema in Japan.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a two-phase facility-based study to determine the prevalence and functional impact of chronic edema in the adult population in Japan between 2014 and 2015. The prevalence study involved a university hospital, an acute community hospital, and a long-term medical facility. The impact study involved six facilities, including two outpatient clinics in acute care hospitals (one led by a physician and the other led by a nurse), inpatient wards in two acute care hospitals, and two nursing home\/long-term care facilities. Various questionnaires and clinical assessments were used to gather patient demographic data and assess the functional impact of chronic edema. The results showed that chronic edema was much more prevalent in the long-term care facility than in acute care hospitals; cellulitis episodes occurred in \u223c50% of cases in the gynecologist-led outpatient clinic, even though &gt;80.0% of patients received standard management for edema; edema was found in the trunk region, including the buttock, abdomen, and chest-breast areas, in addition to the upper and lower limbs; and subjective satisfaction with edema control was low, even though the quality-of-life scores were good.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of chronic edema varied according to the facility type, ranging from 5.0% to 66.1%. The edema was located in all body parts, including the trunk region. Subjective satisfaction with control of edema was poor, while general quality of life was good.
