Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Wound Healing

The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment (BWAT) is a standardized tool for quantitative assessment of wound healing that includes the 13 items listed below: (1)Size; (2)Depth; (3)Edges; (4)Undermining or pockets; (5)Necrotic tissue type; (6)Necrotic tissue amount; (7)Exudate type; (8)Exudate amount; (9)Surrounding skin color; (10)Peripheral tissue edema; (11)Peripheral tissue induration; (12)Granulation tissue; (13)Epithelialization. Each item was rated on a scale of 1 (best) to 5 (worst). The BWAT total score is the sum of the individual items with a possible range of 13 (best) to 65 (worst).

Time frame
Up to 1 year.

Secondary outcomes

1

Wound Pain

Assessed by pain visual analog scale (VAS). VAS Score is a horizontal line, 100 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end. The subject marked the point on the line that represented his/her perception of his/her current pain status. VAS Score was determined by measuring in millimeters from the left hand end of the line (no pain) to the point that the subject marked. VAS Score range 0 (best) to 100 (Worst).

Time frame
Up to 1 year.
2

Measured Quality of Life

The wound-quality of life(QoL) questionnaire measures the disease-specific, health related QoL of patients with chronic wounds. It consists of 17 items on impairments that are assessed in retrospect to the preceding 7 days and rated on a 0 (best) to 4 (worse) scale with possible responses from "not at all" to "very much". The total score is the average of the 17 responses.

Time frame
Up to 1 year.
3

Systemic Infection

Assessed by serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein level(hCRP, mg/L). Increased serum hCRP levels above normal ranges indicate infection.

Time frame
Up to 1 year.
4

Survival State

Survival time from the hAMSCs treatment started(momths)

Time frame
From date of treatment until the date of die, assessed up to 1 year.
