Nonhealing wounds are increasingly prevalent, present in 1% to 2% of the global population, with higher incidence in geriatric patients. These chronic wounds pose challenges to older adult patients owing to physiologic changes that hinder healing, common medical comorbidities that promote inflammation and damage microcirculation, poor nutritional status and mobility, and psychosocial barriers to receiving care. In this literature review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, systems costs, and management of chronic venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic foot wounds in older adult patients are investigated.

Their incidence increases with increase in age, especially in individuals suffering from chronic disorders like diabetes. The process of wound healing consists of a series of coordinated biological events triggered by tissue damage, ultimately leading to the repair and restoration of damaged tissues.

Annually, 49 million people worldwide are impacted by lower extremity ulcers (LEUs). Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are the most common LEUs. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has emerged as an effective intervention for complex wounds, offering numerous favourable wound healing outcomes.

Objective: The increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, particularly venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), presents significant clinical and economic challenges within the National Health Service in the UK. This study was designed to evaluate the financial impact of replacing the standard of care (SoC), two-dressing regimen with a single silicone foam dressing with 3DFit Technology, Biatain Silicone (Coloplast, UK), in the treatment of these wounds in the community setting in the UK.
Method: A budget impact model was developed to estimate the potential cost savings of a progressive transition from SoC to the single silicone foam dressing with 3DFit Technology over a five-year horizon.
Retrospective Evaluation of Human Amniotic Allografts for Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Venous Leg Ulcers Treated by an In-Home Mobile Wound Clinic.

*West Coast Wound & Skin Care, Burbank, CA.
Background: The objective is to evaluate the differences in the efficacy of wound care algorithms for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs) treated by a mobile wound clinic. Most patients requiring home treatment performed worse with the standard of care (SOC) compared to those in traditional outpatient clinics, especially chronic wounds associated with multiple comorbidities.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on one year's data from patient records of a mobile wound clinic (July 2022 - June 2023) involving patients suffering from DFU and VLU.
