Assessment of:
• 5 symptoms (pain, cramps, heaviness, pruritus, paresthesia) by patient self-report 
• 6 signs (edema, skin induration, hyperpigmentation, venous ectasia, redness, pain during calf compression) by clinician assessment 
Severity of each symptom and sign is rated as 0 (absent), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) or 3 (severe). In addition, ulcer is noted as present or absent. 
Points are summed to yield the total Villalta score: 
0-4: No PTS 
5-9: Mild PTS 
10-14: Moderate PTS 
≥15, or presence of ulcer Severe PTS
