Thereafter, a specialised wound care team was founded as part of the City of Helsinki Health Services, aiming for early diagnoses of chronic wounds. In the current study, we have repeated the prevalence study to analyse the changes in the prevalence of chronic wounds. A questionnaire on wound patients was sent to all units of social and health care in the Helsinki metropolitan area. We asked about the number of patients with wounds treated during a 24\u2010hour period, as well the aetiology and location of the wounds. A total of 911 patients had, altogether, 1021 wounds. Thus, prevalence was 0.08%. Pressure and multifactorial ulcers were the most common aetiological groups, whereas wound without defined aetiology had diminished greatly (61%) The prevalence of chronic wound decreased when compared with 2008 (0.08% vs 0.1%). The number of elderly people aged over 65 years had increased 35%, and the age\u2010adjusted prevalence had decreased. Wounds are treated mostly in primary care units and as outpatients. Therefore, the following conclusion may be reached: diagnostic process and implementation of treatment paths are strengthened within primary care units, yet prevalence of wounds has decreased.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.13077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,24]],"date-time":"2019-01-24T08:11:07Z","timestamp":1548317467000},"page":"522-526","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A change in the prevalence and the etiological factors of chronic wounds in Helsinki metropolitan area during 2008\u20102016"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Kirsti M.","family":"Ahmaj\u00e4rvi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral Programme in Population Health University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"},{"name":"City of Helsinki Social and Health Services  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirsi M.","family":"Isoherranen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Helsinki University Hospital, University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anita","family":"M\u00e4kel\u00e4","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery Helsinki University Hospital  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maarit","family":"Venermo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery Helsinki University Hospital, University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12623"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtv.2008.11.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","unstructured":"Finnish National Registry.
