Comparison #1 (C1) compares patients who ever received TWO2 (TWO2) to those who never received TWO2 (NO TWO2). Patients in both cohorts may have also received other adjunctive therapy. Comparison #2 (C2) compares patients who only received TWO2 and no other adjunctive therapy (TWO2 ONLY) to those who received NPWT, SS, and/or GF, but not TWO2 (OTHER TX ONLY). Propensity score matching was performed on the following 9 factors; age, sex, ethnicity, wound severity, prior amputation, use of offloading, use of NPWT, use of SS, use of GF. All patients received appropriate SOC.
