Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy vs. Open Surgery for Vein Treatment, 2019-2022

Clinical data from 97 patients with incompetent perforator veins treated at Baoji People’s Hospital between February 2019 and February 2022. The dataset compares ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy to open surgical ligation, tracking operative parameters, occlusion rates, Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS), ulcer healing, and complications over a 12-month follow-up. It was authored by Rongjiang Li and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare operative time and blood loss between two surgical techniques based on the reported perioperative parameters.
• Model risk factors for vein recanalization after foam sclerotherapy based on identified predictors like vein diameter and BMI.
• Analyze the relationship between treatment type and clinical outcomes like VCSS improvement and ulcer healing rates.
• Validate the predictive thresholds for recanalization risk factors using the reported ROC curve analysis.

Strengths

• Contains data from 97 patients with a minimum 12-month follow-up period.
• Reports specific comparative statistics, including operative time (56.27±9.70 vs. 68.60±9.41 min) and intraoperative blood loss (4.18±2.37 vs. 8.85±4.48 mL).
• Identifies independent risk factors for recanalization with specific odds ratios and cutoff values (vein diameter >4.5 mm, BMI >27.2 kg/m²).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single hospital (Baoji People’s Hospital), which may limit generalizability.
