Chronic wounds represent a worldwide problem. For laboratory and clinical research to adequately address this problem, a common language needs to exist.
This language should include a system of wound classification, a lexicon of wound descriptors, and a description of the processes that are likely to affect wound healing and wound healing end points.
The report that follows defines wound, acute wound, chronic wound, healing and forms of healing, wound assessment, wound extent, wound burden, and wound severity. The utility of these definitions is demonstrated as they relate to the healing of a skin wound, but these definitions are broadly applicable to all wounds.
慢性伤口是一个全球性问题。为使实验室和临床研究能充分解决这一问题，需要一种通用语言。
这种语言应包括伤口分类系统、伤口描述词汇表，以及对可能影响伤口愈合及伤口愈合终点的过程的描述。
以下报告定义了伤口、急性伤口、慢性伤口、愈合及愈合形式、伤口评估、伤口范围、伤口负担和伤口严重程度。这些定义在与皮肤伤口愈合相关方面的实用性得到了证明，但这些定义广泛适用于所有伤口。
