Chronic wounds have long been a significant public health concern, but the true impact of these wounds is unknown since research designs and measuring techniques vary, leading to inconsistent estimates. The definition of a wound is a loss of epithelial continuity caused by damage to the tissue. The following conditions can cause chronic wounds: panniculitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, traumatic, neurological, metabolic, hematologic, neoplastic, or infection-related. The growing global incidence of diabetes and the aging population necessitate greater attention to chronic wounds. Regrettably, it is sad that significant healthcare institutions have overlooked wound research. The study of health-related illnesses and occurrences in particular populations, including their distribution, frequency, and determinants, and the application of this research to control health problems.
慢性伤口长期以来一直是一个重大的公共卫生问题，但由于研究设计和测量技术各不相同，导致估计结果不一致，这些伤口的真正影响尚不清楚。伤口的定义是由组织损伤引起的上皮连续性丧失。以下情况可导致慢性伤口：脂膜炎、坏疽性脓皮病、创伤性、神经性、代谢性、血液学性、肿瘤性或感染相关性。全球糖尿病发病率的不断上升和人口老龄化使得对慢性伤口的关注更加必要。遗憾的是，令人难过的是，重要的医疗机构忽视了伤口研究。对特定人群中与健康相关的疾病和事件的研究，包括其分布、频率和决定因素，以及将这项研究应用于控制健康问题。
