Aims To identify the current research on assessment, management and prevention of chronic wounds in Australia and within the global context. Methods Electronic databases, trial registries and professional organisation websites were searched from 1 January 2010 to 31 May 2022. All original human research studies on chronic wounds conducted in Australia and reviews (systematic reviews (SRs), evidence-based guidelines (EBGs), evidence summaries, consensus documents) conducted worldwide were included. Results were tabulated and synthesised in a narrative review. Results Overall, 365 Australian studies and 569 worldwide reviews were included. The designs of Australian studies were mostly cohort (31%) or cross-sectional (20%), with a few randomised trials (10%). Australian studies were mostly concentrated on wound management (43%) or assessment (40%), and only 17% on prevention; this profile was similar for worldwide reviews. The chronic wound types focused on in Australian studies were 43% pressure injuries (PIs), 27% diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs), 16% venous leg ulcers (VLUs), 8% mixed chronic wounds, 6% mixed leg/foot ulcers, <1% fungating wounds. Conclusions This review found Australian chronic wound research focused on PIs and DFUs, with few randomised trials (10%), which is likely related to the lack of national competitive funding and difficulties in infrastructure support for adequately powered trials.

Introduction Diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFU) are optimally managed with a team approach to addressing infection, ischaemia, pressure offloading and sharp debridement. Treatment frequency is commonly every 1–2 weeks. Aim To investigate the actual and preferred frequency of treatment of patients, and potential factors affecting treatment attendance including perceived benefits, mobility and mode of transport. Method A convenience sample of patients attending urban or regional high risk foot services (HRFS) for treatment were invited to participate in the survey via a QR code, on paper or via phone. The study had ethics approval No X20-0550 2020/ ETH03244. Results A total of 60 participants from three centres completed the survey. Eight (13%) attended weekly, 28 (47%) every 2 weeks, and the remainder (40%) less often; 51 (85%) indicated they would attend weekly if this hastened healing; 33 (45%) had some level of difficulty in mobility impacting their ability to attend, with 11(18%) requiring a carer or family support for them to attend; most (84%) participants drove or were driven. Conclusions Physical mobility deficits impact patients’ ability to attend for treatment, with the majority relying on private transport to attend appointments. Family support to enable attendance was common. These factors should be considered by providers and commissioners of services
