Predictors of Short-Term Outcome in Venous Leg Ulcers: The Dominant Role of Wound Infection and Multiple Ulcers

Background/Objectives: CEAP C6 venous leg ulcers are the most resource-intensive stage of chronic venous disease, yet short-term prognostication at admission remains empirical. We aimed to determine which routinely available admission variables are associated with unfavourable in-episode evolution and to develop a concise prognostic model.
