Quantification and stratification: wound research in the future.
Advances in wound healing have been slow--from the realization of a concept through to its adoption into clinical practice. There are well-known and understood reasons for this conservative approach. One less well-tried thought is to stratify the patient's physiological status with regard to the wound. This may be the key to quantify changes in wound milieu and therefore to progress.
