The aim of this study was to provide a profile of patients attending specialist lymphedema services in different countries to explore similarities and differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The LIMPRINT core tool was used in specialist lymphedema services in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Turkey. Services in Turkey saw a slightly younger age group, with a higher proportion of female patients reflecting a particular focus on breast cancer-related lymphedema. There were higher levels of obesity and restricted mobility in patients in the United Kingdom compared with other countries. Italy and France saw the highest percentage of patients with primary lymphedema. Diabetes was a common comorbidity in the United Kingdom and Turkey. The United Kingdom saw the largest number of patients with lower limb lymphedema.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results show a wide range of complexity of patients treated in specialist lymphedema services. Some of the differences between countries may reflect different stages in the evolution of specialist lymphedema services, rather than a true difference in prevalence, with those with \u201cyounger\u201d services treating a high proportion of patients with cancer and those with more established services treating a wider range of different types of lymphedema, including more elderly people with multiple comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lrb.2019.0021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,17]],"date-time":"2019-04-17T15:30:01Z","timestamp":1555515001000},"page":"141-146","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["LIMPRINT in Specialist Lymphedema Services in United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Vaughan","family":"Keeley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lymphoedema Service, Royal Derby Hospital, Derby, United Kingdom."},{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Franks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research &amp; Implementation of Clinical Practice, London, 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":"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":"Sandro","family":"Michelini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Medicina Fisica e Riabilitativa, Ospedale San Giovanni Battista\u2014ACISMOM, Roma, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Cestari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Study Centre Pianeta Linfedema, Terni, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pinar","family":"Borman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR), University of Hacettepe Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey."},{"name":"Hacettepe University Lymphedema Research and Practice Center, Ankara, Turkey."}],"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":"Susan","family":"Noerregaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Copenhagen Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centre, Bispebjerg Hospital, Kobehavn, Denmark."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tonny","family":"Karlsmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Copenhagen Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centre, Bispebjerg Hospital, Kobehavn, Denmark."}],"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":"Christine","family":"Moffatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montpellier Medecine Vasculaire, EA2992, Universite Montpellier I, CHU Saint Eloi, Montpellier, France."},{"name":"Copenhagen Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centre, Bispebjerg Hospital, Kobehavn, Denmark."},{"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_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12694"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","unstructured":"WHO.
