Abstract
OBJECTIVE The 2010 Pacific Vascular Symposium 6 (PVS6) brought venous disease content experts together with a goal of addressing critical issues collated together in the next decade with concrete plans to achieve these goals. This mapping review aims to provide a broader representation of how progress in critical issues of chronic venous disease has been made by extrapolating scientific publications related to the PVS6 initiatives. METHODS We performed a mapping review identifying original or systematic review/meta-analysis articles related to PVS 6 initiatives (aims) that addressed one of the following key objectives: scales to measure chronic venous disease, effectiveness of interventional deep venous thrombus removal, development of a deep venous valve, and biomarkers related to venous disease. Searches were undertaken in PubMed, Ovid Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL (EBSCO), and Scopus. We extracted descriptive information about the studies and predefined variables for each specific aim, showing what and where research exists on the aims included. RESULTS A total of 2138 articles were screened from 3379 retrieved articles from six electronic databases. We mapped 186 included articles, finding that the total number of publications significantly increased after the 2010 PVS6 meeting. Aim results were visually summarized. The largest body of data addressed catheter-based thrombus removal strategies for acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis. Primary research on artificial venous valves and venous biomarkers remained limited. No new post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) score has been developed. CONCLUSIONS This mapping review identified and characterized the available evidence and gaps in our knowledge of chronic venous disease that exist visually, which may guide where more significant investments for the future should be targeted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic venous disease (CVD) affects around 25% of adult population in developed countries and it often represent a health problem for different kind of workers, in particular for who spend much of the working time in upright standing. METHODS The study was carried out on a population of 173 nonmedical workers of a midsize hospital in Italy (91 nurse, 31 support staff workers and 51 employees). The study protocol was taken from a previous study of our group and included a clinical examination and a questionnaire. RESULTS From the analysis of data it emerged a particular importance of upright standing as major risk factor for CVD. The prevalence of venous pathology seems to be greater among nurses and auxiliaries than the administrative staff and, as expected, it was significantly higher among female workers than in males. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained show that the clinical-diagnostic protocol described can be used by doctors for screening venous pathology at workplaces.
