A Retrospective Analysis of Laboratory Testing on Chronic Wound Patients

November 24, 2015 updated by: Randall Wolcott, Southwest Regional Wound Care Center
The purpose of this study was to pursue statistical analysis on a series of molecular laboratory results obtained from chronic wounds. It elucidated diversity, quantification, and other aspects of microbial diversity in chronic wounds.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Improve selection of systemic antibiotics based on results using molecular diagnostics.
Time Frame: 1 year
The study elucidated diversity, quantification, and other aspects of microbial diversity in chronic wounds. It evaluated samples from different regions, different types of wounds, different outcomes, and longitudinal data if multiple samples were sent over time from a single individual.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
2. Data Collection: The molecular wound cultures have been performed on thousands of patients from around the country. The information from the culture results that were processed were used to compile an antibiogram for a laboratory.
Time Frame: 1 year
There are many geographic regions which have a number of samples which could be analyzed and compared to other geographic regions yielding valuable insight into the microbiology of chronic wounds.
