Wound-healing trajectories as outcome measures of venous stasis ulcer treatment

Outcome measures of venous ulcer healing are not uniformly accepted. Stringent criteria of 100% closure fail to provide information of healing over the entire span of repair. Wound‐healing trajectories (plot of percentage of wound closure versus time of wound treatment) were constructed for 232 pati...

Zusammenfassung:	Outcome measures of venous ulcer healing are not uniformly accepted. Stringent criteria of 100% closure fail to provide information of healing over the entire span of repair. Wound‐healing trajectories (plot of percentage of wound closure versus time of wound treatment) were constructed for 232 patients treated in eight clinical trials at two independent wound care/research centres. Trajectories were constructed for ulcers that totally healed (100% closure) and those that did not (
