This study has identified GPNs' strengths and challenges in relation to lifestyle risk communication. Fostering these skills has the potential to reduce risk of lifestyle attributable chronic disease.

International guidelines recommend using the Villalta score (VS) to diagnose the postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). However, a high proportion of PTS detected with VS could just reflect the presence of preexisting primary venous insufficiency (PVI). Furthermore, it is unclear whether the contralateral VS (cl-VS) can be used to assess for preexisting PVI. To estimate whether cl-VS can be used to assess for preexisting PVI, and to assess the proportion of PTS that could be attributable to preexisting PVI. Subanalysis of the SOX multicenter randomized trial focusing on patients with a first unilateral proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) followed for up to 2 years. PVI was defined as a baseline cl-VS > 4, and PTS as VS > 4 in the leg ipsilateral to DVT starting 6 months after DVT. Among 680 patients, mean cl-VS remained stable over time 1.23 (standard deviation [SD] ±2.49) at baseline and 1.17 (±2.20), 1.59 (±2.81), 1.54 (±2.50), 1.65 (±2.82), and 1.55 (±2.63) at the 1-, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month visits, respectively. Baseline cl-VS and ipsilateral VS measured during follow-up were mildly correlated (Pearson correlation = 0.13-0.25). This association disappeared after subtracting the cl-VS measured at the same visit from the ipsilateral VS. Overall, 48.8% of patients developed PTS of whom 12.8% had baseline cl-VS > 4.
