متن کاملA Predictive Model for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Outcome: The Wound Healing Index
Objective: To develop a healing index for patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) for use in clinical practice, research analysis, and clinical trials. Approach: U.S. Wound Registry data were examined retrospectively and assigned a clear outcome (healed, amputated, etc.). Significant variables were identified with bivariate analyses. A multivariable logistic regression model was created based...
متن کاملNonlinear modeling of venous leg ulcer healing rates
BACKGROUND The purpose of this manuscript was to determine whether the change in wound surface area over time could be described through nonlinear mathematics. METHODS We studied 3,588 serial wound tracings of 338 venous leg ulcers (VLUs) that had been followed during a controlled, prospective, randomized trial of two topical wound treatments. RESULTS A majority (72%) of VLUs exhibited surf...
متن کاملPharmacological adjuncts for chronic venous ulcer healing
