“…In 209 episodes of leg cellulitis, 35 patients (16.7%) had recurrences within 2 years [61]; possible predictive factors for recurrence were evaluated, and tibial area involvement, prior malignancy, and dermatitis of the ipsilateral limb were all independent risk factors for recurrence on multivariate analysis, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 5.02, 3.87, and 2.9, respectively. If all three were present, the estimated probability of recurrence was 92.8% (95% CI, 51.9-98.9%).…”
