| Inference |
Number of patients with 75-100% wound filled are significantly higher in Test group at 3rd week follow up (P=0.009), at 4th week (P=0.002), at 5th Week (P=0.063), and at 6th week (P=<0.001) when compared to Control group as per the Chi-Square /Fisher Exact test |
Figures in brackets are percentage
Visual score:
1. = no granulation present
2. ≤ 25% of wound
3. = 25-74% of wound filled
4. = 75-100% of wound filled |
