Like many other complex and chronic conditions, it has a low status within health care. The result is that it has a low priority in health policy and consequently is undervalued and undertreated. While evidence-based practice promotes a hierarchy of evidence, it is also the case that clinical practice is influenced by a hierarchy of social status. These are as much political as they are scientific.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This article will provide an explanation for why chronic edema is a low priority. It will do this through a critical review of the literature. We examine this through the theoretical lens of Pierre Bourdieu. The sociology of Bourdieu frames an understanding of power relations through habitus, field, and capital. We will employ these theoretical tools to understand the way that chronic edema is situated within the policy arena. We identify a number of social mechanisms that affect the status of chronic edema, including diagnostic uncertainty, social capital, scientific capital, cultural capital and economic capital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We argue that a whole system approach to care, based on human need rather than unequal power relations, is a prerequisite for the delivery of good health care. The specialty of chronic edema is not a powerless group and we identify some of the ways that the social mechanism that acts as barriers to change, can also be employed to challenge them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lrb.2018.0082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,17]],"date-time":"2019-04-17T15:30:01Z","timestamp":1555515001000},"page":"168-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["LIMPRINT: A Sociological Perspective on \u201cChronic Edema\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Stuart","family":"Nairn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, Royal Derby Hospital Center, Derby, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleanor","family":"Dring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nottingham University Business School, University of Nottingham, Jubilee Campus Nottingham, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aimee","family":"Aubeeluck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, Queens Medical Center, Nottingham, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Qu\u00e9r\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montpellier Medecine Vasculaire, EA2992, Universite Montpellier I, CHU Saint Eloi, Montpellier, France."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Moffatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781849209120"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12224"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/qjmed\/hcg126"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511812507"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9781503621749"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nup.12167"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/s41285-017-0046-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.13486"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2011.241802"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9566.2008.01152.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/soc4.12296"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","first-page":"52","article-title":"Our interest in swelling\u2014but what's in a name?","volume":"12","author":"Pillar P","year":"2017","unstructured":"Pillar P, , Lee BB, , Rankin, , Keeley V, , Box R.
