Many patients are given a diagnostic \u2018label\u2019 (e.g. varicose eczema) that often turns out to be incorrect, leading to an interruption in the patient pathway. Every skin condition can be described in a variety of ways and each professional group adheres to certain phrases and words that, within each discipline, are recognised, but when making onward referral or working between professions, it helps to have clear and concise definitions. This article aims is to standardise the terminology used to describe skin conditions of the lower limbs among health professionals, removing some of the discrepancy, and to develop a glossary to aid recognition, definition and hence diagnosis to ensure prompt and appropriate management is implemented. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2015.20.sup4.s14","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,7]],"date-time":"2015-05-07T14:53:19Z","timestamp":1431010399000},"page":"S14-S20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A glossary of terms to assist the recognition and diagnosis of skin conditions associated with lower-limb chronic oedema"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Elwell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Macmillan Lymhoedema Clinical Nurse Specialist, University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Craven","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant Dermatologist\/Clinical Lead for Dermatology, University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00015458.2008.11680220"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268809990483"},{"key":"B5","volume-title":"Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Leg Ulceration","author":"Clinical Resource Efficiency Support Team","year":"1998"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2011.16.Sup3.S38"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014107689809101206"},{"key":"B9","volume-title":"Leg Ulcers and Problems of the Lower Limb: A Holistic Approach","author":"Day J","year":"2008"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.318.7198.1591"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2014.19.1.12"},{"issue":"2","key":"B12","first-page":"38","volume":"4","author":"Firas A","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Lymphoedema"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2006.11.Sup2.20842"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2008.08489.x"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.1998.02218.x"},{"key":"B19","volume-title":"ABC Arterial and Venous Disease","author":"Moffatt C","year":"2012"},{"key":"B20","first-page":"130","volume-title":"Lymphoedema","author":"Mortimer P","year":"2000"},{"issue":"2","key":"B22","first-page":"1","volume":"3","author":"Narahari SR","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of Yoga Physical Therapy"},{"key":"B25","volume-title":"Best Practice Statement: Pressure Ulcer Prevention","author":"Nursing and Midwifery Practice Development Unit","year":"2009"},{"key":"B27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.2012.339"},{"issue":"2","key":"B28","first-page":"44","volume":"7","author":"Ryan T","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Lymphoedema"},{"key":"B29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2011.10586.x"},{"issue":"1","key":"B30","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.2310\/6620.2008.07053","volume":"19","author":"Widman T","year":"2008","journal-title":"Dermatitis"}],"container-title":["British Journal of Community Nursing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/bjcn.2015.20.Sup4.S14","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T15:08:56Z","timestamp":1653404936000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/10.12968\/bjcn.2015.20.Sup4.S14"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Sup4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/bjcn.2015.20.Sup4.S14"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/bjcn.2015.20.sup4.s14","relation":{},"ISSN":["1462-4753","2052-2215"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1462-4753","type":"print"},{"value":"2052-2215","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]]}}}
