Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to investigate the life quality of lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients 26 m after progressive decompression elasticity socks therapy. METHODS: SF-36 scale was used to record the life quality scores in 74 patients with acute and subacute deep venous thrombosis, all the patients received the non-surgical treatment. The eight dimensions of life quality variation were documented and analyzed. RESULTS: The baseline data were comparable (P = 1.000 for age, P = 0.655 for sex). At the time of admission and at different time points after discharge, there were significant differences for eight dimensions in patients with deep vein thrombosis (Ps < 0.001). In addition that eight dimensions scores were significantly different between the score at 2 months, 4 months after discharge and the score at certain individual stages (Ps < 0.05), there were no significant difference for eight dimensions scores at different stages (Ps > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Showed slow improvement within six months of deep vein thrombosis in patients with non-surgical treatment, the life quality scores entered the plateau stage, the life quality of the RP and the PF dimension were slightly impaired, the VT dimension showed relatively obvious damage, the remaining dimensions can recover to healthy levels. The blood circulation activation drugs may help maintain the stability of life quality and delay the occurrence of PTS. The turning point of life quality did not show and required extended follow-up period.
