Evaluation of the ulcers’ areas in control (CG) and experimental (EG) groups
| Variable | Evaluation | Groups | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EG (n = 27) | CG (n = 26) | |||
| Wound area in cm²: Mean ± SD, (Median) | Day 1 | 62.86 ± 89.46 (23.23) | 37.99 ± 48.30 (15.31) | p (1) = 0.810 |
| Day 180 | 31.06 ± 45.28 (11.26) | 17.67 ± 31.19 (1.44) | p (1) = 0.620 | |
| Difference between wound areas in cm² (day 180—day 1): Mean ± SD, (Median) | −31.80 ± 50.00 (16.35) | −20.32 ± 31.98 (12.96) | p (1) = 0.673 | |
| p value | p (2) < 0.001* | p (2) < 0.001* | ||
