Overview

Cross-sectional study shows wound temperature can indicate infection in chronic wounds, suggesting thermal imaging aids clinical assessments.

Key Points

  • Wound bed temperature correlates with infection status, aiding clinical assessment for chronic wounds.
  • A strong correlation (R² = 0.977) was found between the wound centre temperature and average wound temperature.
  • Statistical analyses were employed to discern the relationship between wound temperature and clinical diagnosis.
  • The findings indicate that thermal imaging is a promising, low-cost tool for monitoring chronic wound status.
