WounDx Pilot: Clinical Decision Support Tool for Surgical Closure of Wounds - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to develop an algorithm to help make accurate decisions about how to manage traumatic wounds. We hope this tool will help us determine the ideal time to use surgery to close major wounds in a way that will best promote healing.
Traumatic Wounds that Require Delayed Surgical Closure
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Adults ages 18-70 who have experienced some type of physical trauma that has resulted in an open wound or limb amputation that cannot be closed immediately after it is stabilized.

What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will allow us to record the results of your blood tests and information from your medical records at Duke. This information will be used to inform an algorithm that is being developed to determine how wounds should be managed.
