Study goal. To examine the demographic characteristics of patients with two types of chronic ulcers, frequency of certain types of wounds, specific health risks and the needs of patients. Study design. Retrospective Observational Study Methods and participants. The research was conducted by analyzing medical documentation at the Health Care Institution specializecd for home care. The survey included 79 respondents in the period from March 2012 to November 2016. An analysis of existing medical documentation was carried out at a home care facility. The results. The survey involved 79 respondents, 35 men and 44 women. Of all subjects, 37 (47%) had bed sore ulcer and 42 (58%) had lower leg ulcers. Wound surfaces are significantly different: bed sore ulcers have a surface area of 10.5 to 30 cm2, while lower leg ulcers have a surface area from 4 to 10 cm2 (p = 0.025). In the bed sore ulcer group, the most common complications were recurrence and increase in diameter, and amputation in the group of lower leg surfaces. Most of the chronic wounds have been remedied. Subjects with bed sore ulcers are significantly more likely to have DTP 2, while those with lower leg ulcers have a more frequent DTP 6 (p = 0.001). Conclusion. More subjects with cronic wounds had lower leg ulcers than bed sore ulcers. The most common underlying disease of bed sore ulcer is stroke. The most common nursing diagnosis is constipation. Bed sore ulcers have significantly larger surfaces. The most common complication is amputation in patients with leg ulcers. Bed sore ulcers are significantly more frequent washed with saline. Lower leg ulcers are significantly commonly washed out with hydrogen and showering. Nursing care of bed sore ulcers lasts twice as long as with lower leg ulcers.
