Fig 2 Scatter plot of refilling time (RT) 1 against RT2 in the seated position (n = 140). Journal of Vascular Surgery 2006 43, 335-341DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2005.10.039) Copyright © 2006 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 3 Bland-Altman plot of the difference in refilling time (RT) taken 2 to 5 minutes apart (RT1 − RT2) against mean RT in the seated position (n = 140). The mean difference of RT1 − RT2 was 0.89 seconds (SD, 5.4 seconds); the RT coefficient of repeatability was 10.6 seconds.

Fig 4 Difference between refilling time (RT) 1 to 2 weeks apart (RT1 − RT3) against mean RT for the seated position (n = 38). The mean difference for RT1 − RT3 was −0.76 seconds (SD, 6.59 seconds); the RT coefficient of repeatability was 12.9 seconds.

Fig 6 Difference between refilling time (RT) 1 and RT2 against the mean of RT1 and RT2, 2 to 5 minutes apart for the standing position (n = 37). The mean difference for RT1 − RT2 was 0.46 seconds (SD, 3.69 seconds); the RT coefficient of repeatability was 7.23 seconds.

Fig 7 Difference between refilling time (RT) 1 and RT3 against the mean of RT1 and RT2, 1 to 2 weeks apart, for the standing position (n = 27). The mean difference for RT1 − RT3 was −1.3 seconds (SD, 6.53 seconds); the RT coefficient of repeatability was 12.8 seconds.
