Authors' objectives: HTW originally aimed to identify and summarise evidence that addresses the following question: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of continuous topical oxygen therapy (TOT) in addition to standard of care for the treatment of chronic non-healing and complex wounds in comparison to standard of care alone? The majority of the evidence, and the evidence of highest certainty, we identified was for diabetic foot ulcers, and we have therefore focused on this wound type (evidence on other wound types is reported in an appendix of the report).
