Wound Assessment Accuracy and Treatment Efficiency

November 22, 2025 updated by: Long Zhang, Peking University Third Hospital

The Impact of Inaccurate Wound Assessment on Treatment Efficiency: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Survey in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region of China

Wound assessment is critical for developing effective treatment strategies, yet there is a scarcity of research on the assessment accuracy of clinical practitioners. An online questionnaire-based survey was conducted from March to April 2025. It involved 118 wound specialists from 9 specialized wound care institutions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China, who evaluated 8 standardized wound cases. A total of 553 valid responses were collected.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The weighted overall accuracy of wound assessments
Time Frame: Baseline
Compare the assessment answers given by wound specialist to determine the accuracy rate of the assessment of the wound practitioners surveyed
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The average accuracy for observational assessment items (e.g., wound size, types of wound bed tissue, wound exudate)
Time Frame: Baseline
An assessment response was scored as correct if it was consistent with the standard answer. Calculate the accuracy for observational assessment items (e.g., wound size, types of wound bed tissue, wound exudate) .
Baseline
The average the accuracy of inferential assessment items (e.g., etiologic classification of wounds, healing capacity, wound characteristic analysis)
Time Frame: Baseline
