Summary

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, place a huge burden on healthcare systems and can lead to complications with high morbidity, particularly if the wound if infected. In parallel, there is pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics in order to minimise the risk of antimicrobial resistance. The Glycologic wound detection kit (GLYWD) is a point-of-care test, designed to provide guidance to clinical staff as to whether a chronic wound is infected or not. In this prospective cohort study the premise of this mode-of-action is evaluated. GLYWD will be applied in conjunction with clinical opinion and microbiological testing to determine if there is concordance between the different diagnostic approaches, and if applicable how they may differ in certain patients' wounds.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

GLYWD

As mentioned in the group description, GLYWD is a plastic test tube and a chromatic test that contains two solutions. When combined with a wound exudate and incubated at RT, it will change colour to red if there is a pathological bacterial wound infection present.
