Ewma Study Recommendations: For Clinical Investigations in Leg Ulcers and Wound Care.
In 2010, the EWMA Patient Outcome Group (POG) published recommendations to improve the quality of evidence in wound management. (1) As a companion piece of work, the EWMA POG has worked to provide a series of user-friendly documents to assist those new to (or inexperienced in) research, in starting on the path to plan, conduct, interpret and disseminate findings from an investigation that will improve our understanding of clinical wound healing and raise the evidence level of the work undertaken in this important area. Given the range of wound types that clinicians are involved with, the POG has decided to limit the first of these to venous leg ulcers. In addition, as a European association, the focus will be on EU regulations and directives.
