BACKGROUND
Lower limb varicose veins are common among nurses due to occupational and nonoccupational risk factors.
AIMS
To estimate the prevalence of lower limbs varicosity and its associated risk factors.
SETTINGS AND DESIGN
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among 201 nurses at Mansoura University Hospital from January 1 to May 31, 2018.
METHODS
A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data, risk factors for varicose veins, and occupational details. Varicose veins were diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Univariate and logistic regression analyses were done.
RESULTS
The prevalence of varicose veins was 18.4%. Significant independent predictors are being ≥25 years old, working in emergency rooms and ICU/operative rooms, and using oral contraceptives with adjusted odds ratios [95% Confidence Interval (CI)] of [8.7 (2.6-28.4)], [10.8 (2.6-45.9)], [16.2 (3.9-67.4)], and [4.2 (1.3-13.2)], respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Independent predictors, other than age, are modifiable and those with highest AOR are occupationally related.
背景
由于职业和非职业风险因素，下肢静脉曲张在护士中很常见。
目的
评估下肢静脉曲张的患病率及其相关风险因素。
设置与设计
于2018年1月1日至5月31日在曼苏拉大学医院对201名护士进行了一项横断面描述性研究。
方法
使用问卷收集社会人口统计学数据、静脉曲张的风险因素和职业细节。通过多普勒超声诊断静脉曲张。
统计分析
进行单因素和逻辑回归分析。
结果
静脉曲张的患病率为18.4%。显著的独立预测因素为年龄≥25岁、在急诊室和重症监护室/手术室工作以及使用口服避孕药，调整后的比值比[95%置信区间（CI）]分别为[8.7（2.6 - 28.4）]、[10.8（2.6 - 45.9）]、[16.2（3.9 - 67.4）]和[4.2（1.3 - 13.2）]。
结论
除年龄外，独立预测因素是可改变的，且比值比最高的因素与职业相关。
