Patient satisfaction with the outcome of treatment was similar in the two groups. Objective assessment of clinical vessel disappearance revealed a benefit of wearing stockings (P=.026) corresponding to a NNT (number needed to treat) of 4.7 patients to get a vessel disappearance score higher than 6. The interobserver agreement was very high (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.93). Compression was well tolerated with a low rate of discomfort claims (mean 17.5%). Micro-thrombi were rarely observed in either group, but still less prevalent in the compression group. The rate of pigmentation and matting was low and did not differ significantly between the two groups. Physical and mental quality of life scores in women seeking treatment of telangiectasias were similar to those of a healthy control population. Treatment had no impact on general quality of life. CONCLUSION: Wearing compression stockings (23 to 32 mm Hg) for 3 weeks enhance the efficacy of sclerotherapy of leg telangiectasias by improving clinical vessel disappearance.
