One of the reasons is related to the inadequacy of sizing tables of compression stockings sold in India by western companies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n In 922 Indian patients, three circumference measurements of leg were taken in a standing position at different levels: Instep (level Y), Ankle (level B) and largest part of the calf (level C). We compared these measurements with the standard sizing tables according to the recommendations of the manufacturers\u2019 sizing tables. The statistical analysis method: mean comparison of the circumferences was tested with the Wilcoxon test.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Result<\/jats:title>\n The measurements found do not allow a satisfactory adaptation of compression stockings marketed in India by Medi\u00ae, Sigvaris\u00ae and Jobst\u00ae. The risk of threading difficulties is 15% with Medi\u00ae and Sigvaris\u00ae compression stockings. The risk of slippage is 61% for Sigvaris\u00ae and 48% for Medi\u00ae. With the Jobst\u00ae sizing table, no knitting makes it possible to reach a pressure at point C equal to at least 50% of the pressure of point B.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n These data underline the need to adapt the measurements of compression stockings to the morphologies of patients' lower limbs in India, to improve compliance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0268355519854611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,12]],"date-time":"2019-06-12T00:40:17Z","timestamp":1560300017000},"page":"110-114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Sizing of medical below-knee compression stockings in an Indian population: A major risk factor for non-compliance"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Ravul","family":"Jindal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Department, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6962-954X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Francois","family":"Uhl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"French University Group for Medical Compression Study, Paris Descartes University, Paris, France"},{"name":"Urdia Research Unit, EA4465 Descartes University, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JP","family":"Benigni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urdia Research Unit, EA4465 Descartes University, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0268355519854611","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmv.2014.09.001"},{"key":"bibr2-0268355519854611","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/phleb.2010.010086"},{"key":"bibr3-0268355519854611","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2007.07.014"},{"key":"bibr4-0268355519854611","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2017.11.025"},{"key":"bibr5-0268355519854611","unstructured":"Evaluation of medical compression devices for individual use \u2013 use in vascular pathology\n .
