Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Chronic venous leg ulcers account for the majority of lower extremity ulcers and represent a serious health and financial burden. Although several clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews are available to guide treatment decisions, healing rates have not improved over the last decade. This research study illustrates some of the limitations of relying on existing databases to guide wound management as well as the importance of considering patient preferences, staff knowledge and skill, and available resources. |
