Data were collected during a 2-day period for inpatients and outpatients in the hospitals and over a full week in the municipalities. The survey included information on the numbers, types and locations of the wounds, as well as resource consumption related to dressing changes. The estimation of costs was based on representative cost levels, including the salaries of health professionals or nurses and the cost of dressings and hospitalisation provided. <\/jats:p><jats:p> \u2022 Results: In total, 33% (n=830) of inpatients had a wound. The majority of these were surgical\/trauma wounds (25%), while pressure ulcers, leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers accounted for 3.3%, 1.7% and 1.6%, respectively. In the municipalities, there was a wound patient prevalence of 2.8 per 1000 population (1\/1000 acute wounds, 0.7\/1000 pressure ulcers, 0.5\/1000 leg ulcers and 0.3\/1000 diabetic foot ulcers). The extrapolated figures for nurse time related to wound care per year was equivalent to 10 full-time nurse positions in Hiller\u00f8d Hospital, three in Viborg Hospital, 17 in Viborg Municipality and three in H\u00f8rsholm Municipality. The total annual costs related to wound care was estimated as \u00803.6 million for Viborg Hospital, \u00804.1 million for Hiller\u00f8d Hospital, \u00801.2 million for Viborg Municipality and \u0080232 548 for H\u00f8rsholm Municipality, accounting for approximately 1.8% (Viborg), 1.6% (Hiller\u00f8d), 2.4% (Viborg) and 1.5% (H\u00f8rsholm) of the total annual budgets. <\/jats:p><jats:p> \u2022 Conclusion: In the survey, 33% of the patients treated in the hospitals had a wound. Primary costs were defined as hospitalisation costs and nurse time related to dressing changes. Total annual costs of treatment, including hospitalisation, were estimated as approximately 1.6\u20131.8% for the hospitals and 1.5\u20132.4% for the municipalities. The level of costs support the relevance of increased efforts to secure better wound prevention and treatment to reduce the staff-time consumption and hospitalisation costs. <\/jats:p><jats:p> \u2022 Declaration of interest: This survey was initiated by the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) and Danish Wound Healing Society (DWHS).
