Abstract: | To establish the cost effectiveness of community leg ulcer clinics using four-layer compression bandaging and the care provided by district nurses, a randomised controlled trial was set up in eight community-based research clinics in four trusts, funded by Trent Regional Health Authority. The main outcomes monitored were the amount of time needed to complete ulcer healing, patient health status, and recurrence. Satisfaction with care, use of services and personal costs were also monitored. |
