Abstract
Background: Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) constitute a worldwide public health problem and have a significant impact on patient quality of life. The treatment is complex, with high failure rates. Objectives: The objective was to identify the influence of compression strength and patient and wound variables on VLUs healing. Methods: A total of 102 patients were supervised for 48 weeks since the commencement of the treatment. The patients were divided into two groups according to two different compression systems, one group with moderate compression pressure of 35–40 mmHg and the second with high pressure >45 mmHg. Results: Deep venous reflux, dermatitis, ulcer infection, duration of the ulcer, and the ulcer size (US) are statistically significantly lower (P
