“…A decade ago Denmark established a multidisciplinary wound healing center and integrated diabetic foot care as an expert function in their national healthcare organization. They found that the center broadly enhanced the knowledge and understanding of wound problems, improved healing rates in patients with leg ulcers, and decreased rates of major amputations [18]. We agree with their conclusion that this model, with minor adjustments for local conditions, is applicable for most industrialized and developing countries.…”

“…Chronic wounds, which commonly incorporate pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, arterial ulcers and diabetic ulcers represent a significant burden to patients and health care providers worldwide. It is estimated that almost 1% of the worlds population experiences difficult to heal wounds which are associated with negative quality of life [5]. In the United States, chronic wounds affect approximately 6.5 million patients with an estimated $25 billion treatment cost per annum [6].…”

a b s t r a c tBackground: At present there is no established national minimum data set (MDS) for generic wound assessment in England, which has led to a lack of standardisation and variable assessment criteria being used across the country. This hampers the quality and monitoring of wound healing progress and treatment. Aim: To establish a generic wound assessment MDS to underpin clinical practice. Method: The project comprised 1) a literature review to provide an overview of wound assessment best practice and identify potential assessment criteria for inclusion in the MDS and 2) a structured consensus study using an adapted Research and Development/University of California at Los Angeles Appropriateness method. This incorporated experts in the wound care field considering the evidence of a literature review and their experience to agree the assessment criteria to be included in the MDS. Results: The literature review identified 24 papers that contained criteria which might be considered as part of generic wound assessment. From these papers 68 potential assessment items were identified and the expert group agreed that 37 (relating to general health information, baseline wound information, wound assessment parameters, wound symptoms and specialists) should be included in the MDS. Discussion: Using a structured approach we have developed a generic wound assessment MDS to underpin wound assessment documentation and practice. It is anticipated that the MDS will facilitate a

“…There are a variety of causes which give rise to many different types of wounds including surgery (planned intervention), trauma (i.e., burns or lacerations), pathological changes in the body (i.e., circulatory vessels associated with leg ulcers), as well as wounds related to pressure (i.e., pressure ulcers) [12]. Wounds frequently occur in the skin (cutaneous), although they can also occur in the mucosa (i.e., in the mouth, nose, digestive tract) [13].…”

Abstract Objective: The current review aims to synthesize existing knowledge about the relationship between psychological stress and wound healing. Methods: A systematic search strategy was conducted using electronic databases to search for published articles up to the end of October 2007. The reference lists of retrieved articles were inspected for further studies and citation searches were conducted. In addition, a meta-analysis of a subset of studies was conducted to provide a quantitative estimation of the influence of stress on wound healing. Results: Twenty-two papers met the inclusion criteria of the systematic review and a subsample of 11 was included in a meta-analysis. The studies assessed the impact of stress on the healing of a variety of wound types in different contexts, including acute and chronic clinical wounds, experimentally created punch biopsy and blister wounds, and minor damage to the skin caused by tape stripping. Seventeen studies in the systematic review reported that stress was associated with impaired healing or dysregulation of a biomarker related to wound healing. The relationship between stress and wound healing estimated by the meta-analysis was r=−0.42 (95% CI=−0.51 to −0.32) (Pb.01). Conclusion: Attention now needs to be directed towards investigating potential moderators of the relationship, mediating mechanisms underpinning the association, as well as the demonstration of a causal link by the development of experimental interventions in healthy populations.
