Key Points

  • The aim is to provide a framework for clinicians on managing chronic wounds through nutrition and monitoring.
  • Review of current evidence on nutrition and chronic wound management
  • Discussion of patient selection and dosing strategies
  • Emphasis on regular monitoring and treatment adjustments
  • Structured guidelines for clinicians on protein-based nutrition in chronic wounds
  • Recommendation for periodic reassessment every 2-4 weeks
  • Highlighting the importance of biomarker-informed strategies for personalized treatment

Abstract

This review translates current evidence into a clinician-oriented framework for patient selection, prescribing, monitoring, and treatment adjustment, emphasizing initiation triggers in stalled wounds and trajectory-based reassessment every 2-4 weeks. Future work should prioritize pragmatic, well-controlled trials comparing formulations and dosing windows by wound etiology, together with biomarker-informed stratification to improve personalization, safety, and real-world uptake.
