摘要：

Background: Vein diseases are frequent and medically relevant. Objective: To characterize phlebological health care and treatment needs in Germany. Methods: Multisource analysis of data from the sick funds, the Federal Statistical Office and primary studies. Results: In Germany, at least 22% of the population (18 million) suffer from venous diseases requiring treatment. 4.1 million phlebological ambulant treatments are carried out annually, about 125,000 hospital cases are documented as the main diagnosis, including approx. 88,500 with varicosis and approx. 35,300 with thrombo(phlebitis). The number of inpatient treatments for varicosis has decreased by 16% in the last 10 years, by 47% in the last 17 years, and the number of outpatient phlebological treatments has increased by 5-10% annually in the last 5 years. Main ambulant health care specialists are surgeons and dermatologists, main inpatient departments are surgery, dermatology and angiology as well as professional vein clinics. Health care needs will increase by 3-8% annually in the future. Being a major part of quality-assured care, 3,049 physicians in 2016 had a certified additional training in phlebology. Conclusion: Peripheral venous diseases require a high level of care in Germany. Phlebology and certified phlebologists are an important pillar of the specialised care needed.
