The primary outcome measure was the rate of disease progression from time of referral to time of consultation. The secondary outcome measure was to the rate of venous complications during the same time period.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    1000 patients from routine varicose vein waiting lists were included in the study. The mean waiting time was 2.96 \u00b1 1.25\u00a0years. The majority of patients were female (73% versus 27%), and the average age was 57.8 \u00b1 14.7\u00a0years. One fifth of the cohort developed a complication or showed evidence of disease progression. Logistic regression showed that advancing age and previous episodes of cellulitis are significant risk factors for the development of CVD progression.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic issue and can be associated with substantial health and economic costs.
