Summary

This trial tests whether a coordinated team of hospital and community healthcare professionals can improve healing of hard-to-heal ulcers compared to standard care. Adults with such ulcers are randomly assigned to either the multidisciplinary team or usual treatment. The main goal is to see if more ulcers heal with the team approach, with participants followed for a year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: coordinated primary-care-based multidisciplinary team (MDT) model
What this could lead to: If successful, this coordinated care model could become a standard approach for treating hard-to-heal ulcers, improving healing rates and reducing recurrence.
What could go wrong: The trial is small (80 participants) and tests a care model rather than a new drug, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention's success depends on team coordination and may not outperform standard care.
