Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Value of a modified clinical signs and symptoms of infection checklist for leg ulcer management.
The aim of this study was to analyse the validity of a modified Clinical Signs and Symptoms Checklist used to measure infection in a sample of patients with a leg ulcer. ⋯ The modified Clinical Signs and Symptoms Checklist does not currently represent a valid tool to measure infection in leg ulcers. Some checklist items may predict bacterial load and may be better than subjective judgement alone.
