Outliers in Wound Care Data and Studies
Section:  Wound Care

Can anyone give me information or links to where I can find what the normal outliers are for various ulcers including
Diabetic Ulcers
Venous Ulcers
Pressure Ulcers
Radiation Ulcers
Traumatic Ulcers

I need to compile data from various wound care centers and want to know what outliers I should be using so that the data is not skewed.

As an additional question, when compiling the data I want to include the outliers (e.g. if outlier is 30 weeks, and a patient healed at 45 weeks, then that patient would be included in data at 30 weeks). however I was told by one person that patients who extend past the outliers should not be included in the data. This does not seem correct to me, can anybody confirm?

Thank you in advance.
