Free Abstract

Cumming V et al. - The prevalence of ulcers at 30% is less than previous estimates in Jamaica, probably reflecting the lack of ascertainment bias in the Cohort Study, and also a real secular decline. In Jamaica, venous incompetence, low socio-economic status, and high serum LDH were the strongest predictors of chronic ulceration.
