Fig 4 Relationship between corona and “C” severity classes of CEAP. Presence of corona by χ2, P < .001; Spearman rank correlation coefficient, r = 0.33. Corona grade 1 to 3 by χ2, P = .002; Spearman rank correlation coefficient, r = 0.31, Journal of Vascular Surgery 2005 42, 1163-1168DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2005.08.031) Copyright © 2005 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 5 Relationship between corona and CEAP mean anatomic scores. Corona grade 0 to 3 by the Student’s t test: mean global anatomic score, P = .0001; mean perforator score, P = .0001; mean superficial score, P < .02; mean deep score, not significant.
