ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how to better manage and understand the healing of traumatic wounds that patients get treated for in the emergency department. Specifically, the study aims to identify risk factors that could lead to complications, such as infections or issues with stitches coming undone, particularly when the initial treatment may not have been adequate. By examining these factors, the researchers hope to improve wound care and outcomes for patients.

To participate in this study, patients must be visiting the emergency department for an acute wound that can be stitched up. However, those with wounds that need surgical treatment, infections, chronic wounds, or certain blood vessel issues will not be eligible. The trial is currently recruiting participants of all ages, and everyone will be required to give their consent to join. If you choose to participate, you can expect to be closely monitored during your treatment to help the researchers gather important information about how wounds heal and what factors might lead to complications.
