Odds ratios (ORs), confidence intervals (CIs), and P values calculated using logistic regression. Percentages shown are row percents. Adjusted model includes Gustilo–Anderson wound type, days to definitive closure, country, and wound area. Propensity score–stratified model adjusts for propensity score stratum, days to definitive closure, and country.
