本研究通过与其他方法(包括周长测量和超声图像测量)的比较，检验了一种实用的凹陷性水肿评估方法的有效性。研究1以丸山医院疗养病房51例(102条小腿)为研究对象，以森永医院疗养病房47例(94条小腿)为研究对象。采用Spearman相关系数对超声图像上表面印迹深度与周长的关系以及表面印迹深度与皮下软组织厚度之间的关系进行分析。表面印迹深度和周向测量之间没有明显的关系。然而，表面印记的深度与超声测量的皮下软组织厚度之间存在显著的相关性(相关系数0.736)。我们的研究结果表明，我们基于测量表面印迹深度的凹陷性水肿的新的评估方法是有效和有用的。
This study examined the validity of a practical evaluation method for pitting edema by comparing it to other methods, including circumference measurements and ultrasound image measurements. Fifty-one patients (102 legs) from a convalescent ward in Maruyama Hospital were recruited for study 1, and 47 patients (94 legs) from a convalescent ward in Morinaga Hospital were recruited for study 2. The relationship between the depth of the surface imprint and circumferential measurements, as well as the relationship between the depth of the surface imprint and the thickness of the subcutaneous soft tissue on an ultrasonogram, were analyzed using a Spearman correlation coefficient by rank. There was no significant relationship between the surface imprint depth and circumferential measurements. However, there was a significant relationship between the depth of the surface imprint and the thickness of the subcutaneous soft tissue as measured on an ultrasonogram (correlation coefficient 0.736). Our findings suggest that our novel evaluation method for pitting edema, based on a measurement of the surface imprint depth, is both valid and useful.
