Does leg ulcer treatment improve patients quality of life?
Sixty-five patients with venous leg ulcers were recruited and treated. At study entry and exit or following complete wound closure, whichever occurred first, each patient was assessed using the SF-36 quality-of-life questionnaire. Data analysis included an investigation of the study population as whole, differences between patients whose ulcers did and did not heal and between gender and age. Health domain means for all patients were compared with age equivalent norms (AENs) at both entry and exit.
