Study Details

WOUNDJOURNEY is a longitudinal, real-world, observational registry designed to capture the full clinical course and patient journey associated with chronic wounds and ulcers. Data are collected during routine care from over 1,400 clinicians across the USA and Puerto Rico using a highly structured certified electronic health record (EHR) or electronic data capture (EDC) system. Data are transmitted daily to the U.S. Wound Registry (USWR), a CMS-recognized Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). The registry captures real-time, research-ready data on patient demographics, comorbidities, wound characteristics, standard-of-care treatments, complications, and advanced therapeutics. It supports robust, fit-for-purpose real-world evidence generation by enabling risk-adjusted outcome analysis, comparative effectiveness research, and quality improvement across diverse sites of care.

Arms

  • Arm: chronic wound patients
    This cohort includes pediatric and adult patients with one or more chronic wounds or ulcers treated in any site of care including hospital outpatient clinics, office-based practices, skilled nursing, and home. Data are captured prospectively during routine care using a purpose built certified EHR. Wounds include diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers/injuries, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and inflammatory ulcers. Interventions are at the discretion of the treating clinician and include standard and advanced wound therapies. Data collected include patient demographics, comorbid conditions, medications, total number of concomitant wounds per patient, wound characteristics, treatments, visit frequency, complications, and outcomes including healing, amputation, recurrence, hospitalization, and death. Patients may be followed for over five years.
