  1. Bold values indicate statistically significant.
  2. Shown is the likelihood ratio Chi square statistics (and p values) for logistic regression models predicting wound reopening odds with (A) diabetes or V0 TEWL score as the only predictor. (B) wound infection or diabetes with V0 TEWL score added as a covariate. (C) univariate and multivariable logistic analysis of wound recurrence.
