A total of 1565 patients were included in the study with exclusions for: no limb swelling or not recorded (1669), having concurrent arm\/leg CO (272), control of assessment missing (5) and professional being unsure of control status of CO (325). Arm swelling occurred in 953 (18.5%) with leg CO in 4212 (81.5%). Poor control was found in 1430 (27.2%) and good control in 3735 (72.3%). Control of arm swelling was worse in men and control increased overall in those aged over 45 years. In contrast control of CO worsened in those with leg CO with increasing age and multiple co-morbidities. Obesity and cellulitis, particularly an episode in the last year were associated with poor control. Independent risk factors for arm CO were : obesity, neurological disease and cellulitis in the last year and for leg CO, obesity, poor mobility, heart disease, presence of a wound, cellulitis in the last year and duration of swelling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Control of CO within specialized centers is complex due to sociodemographic and clinical comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lrb.2019.0020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,17]],"date-time":"2019-04-17T15:30:01Z","timestamp":1555515001000},"page":"211-220","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["LIMPRINT: The UK Experience\u2014Subjective Control of Swelling in Patients Attending Specialist Lymphedema Services"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Christine J.","family":"Moffatt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom."},{"name":"Montpellier Medecine Vasculaire, EA2992, Universite Montpellier I, CHU Saint Eloi, Montpellier, France."},{"name":"Copenhagen Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centre, Bisperberg University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vaughan","family":"Keeley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lymphoedema Service, Royal Derby Hospital, Derby, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Oswalds Hospice, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kath","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Oswalds Hospice, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jill","family":"Lisle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Oswalds Hospice, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"Benson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LOROS, Leicester, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Gaskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Derby Hospital Centre, School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, Derby, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Sykorova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens Medical Centre, School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleanor","family":"Dring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens Medical Centre, School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susie","family":"Murray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research &amp; Implementation of Clinical Practice, London, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregoire","family":"Mercier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montpellier Medecine Vasculaire, EA2992, Universite Montpellier I, CHU Saint Eloi, Montpellier, France."}],"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":"Peter J.","family":"Franks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research &amp; Implementation of Clinical Practice, London, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/qjmed\/hcg126"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12694"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","volume-title":"Best Practice for the Management of Lymphoedema","author":"International Lymphoedema Framework","year":"2006","unstructured":"International Lymphoedema Framework, , International Consensus.
