The prescription of compression garments for lymphoedema is highly varied and may be due to lack of underpinning evidence to inform treatment.īertelli G, Venturini M, Forno G, Macchiavello F, Dini D (1991) Conservative treatment of postmastectomy lymphedema: a controlled, randomized trial. Participant characteristics associated with discontinuance of compression garments included their belief that (i) the garments were not effective in managing their condition, (ii) experienced mild-moderate swelling and/or (iii) had experienced swelling for greater than 5 years. Common reasons given as to why women had discontinued their use included discomfort, and their lymphoedema was stable. Use of compression garments was driven by women’s beliefs that they were vulnerable to progression of their disease and that compression would prevent its worsening. Even when accounting for severity of swelling, type of garment(s) and advice given for use varied across participants. ResultsĬompression garments had been prescribed to 83% of 201 women with lymphoedema within the last 5 years, although 37 women had discontinued their use. Data were analysed using principal component analysis and multivariable logistic regression. The survey included questions related to the participants’ demographics, breast cancer and lymphoedema medical history, prescription and use of compression garments and their beliefs about compression and lymphoedema. MethodsĪn online survey was distributed to the Survey and Review group of the Breast Cancer Network Australia. This aim of this study was to determine the use of compression garments by women with lymphoedema secondary to breast cancer treatment and factors which underpin use.
