A Retrospective Analysis of Laboratory Testing on Chronic Wound Patients
- Conditions
- Wound Chronic Draining
- Registration Number
- NCT02142426
- Lead Sponsor
- Southwest Regional Wound Care Center
- Brief Summary
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.
- Detailed Description
The information was processed from culture results that were processed to compile an antibiogram for a laboratory.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improve selection of systemic antibiotics based on results using molecular diagnostics. 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 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. 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.
