This is an observational study, called WOUNDJOURNEY, that collects information about people with chronic wounds or ulcers, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, or surgical wounds. It's not testing a new treatment, but rather observing how different types of chronic wounds are treated in real-world settings across the USA and Puerto Rico. The study aims to understand the full journey of patients with these wounds. Researchers will look at whether wounds heal, and if major or minor amputations are needed, all measured at one year. You could be included if you have one or more chronic wounds or ulcers of any type, and your care is documented at a participating clinic using a special electronic health record system. The study is ongoing and has been collecting data since 2005.
