Differential impact of missed initial wound clinic visit on 6‐month wound healing by race/ethnicity among patients with chronic limb‐threatening ischemia
Abstract:Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with significant morbidity, including major limb amputation, and mortality. Healing ischemic wounds is necessary to optimize vascular outcomes and can be facilitated by dedicated appointments at a wound clinic. This study aimed to estimate the association between successful wound care initiation and 6‐month wound healing, with specific attention to differences by race/ethnicity. This retrospective study included 398 patients with CLTI and at least one isch… Show more
