**&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Search strategy&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We searched the Cochrane Wounds Group Specialised Trial Register (searched 6 February 2003), CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library Issue 1, 2003), Medline (1966 - 2003), EMBASE (1974 - 2003), DORCTHIM (1996 - 200&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;3)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;, and reference lists of articles. Relevant&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt; j&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;ournals were handsearched and researchers in the field were contacted. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Selection criteria&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Randomised studies comparing the effect on chronic wound healing of therapeutic regimens including HBOT with those not including HBOT (with or without sham therapy). &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Data collection &amp;amp; analysis&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Three reviewers independently evaluated the quality of the relevant trials using the validated Oxford-Scale (&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: blue;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Jadad 1996&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;) and extracted the data from the included trials. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Main results&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Five trials contributed to this review. Diabetic foot ulcer (4 trials, 147 patients): Pooled data of three trials with 118 patients showed a reduction in the risk of major amputation when adjunctive HBOT was used, compared to the alternative therapy (RR: 0.31; 95%-CI 0.13 to 0.71). Sensitivity analysis for the allocation of dropouts did not significantly alter that result. This analysis predicts that we would need to treat 4 individuals with HBOT in order to prevent 1 amputation in the short term (NNT 4, 95%-CI: 3 to 11). There was no &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;statistically &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;significant change in minor amputation rate (pooled data of two trials with 48 patients). Healing rate was reported only in one trial (&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: blue;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Abidia 2003&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;) which showed a significant improvement in the chance of healing 1 year after therapy (RR for failure to heal with sham 2.3, 95%CI 1.1 to 4.7, P=0.03), although no &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;effect was determined &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;immediately &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;post HBOT&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;, nor at 6 months. Further, the beneficial effect after 1 year was sensitive to allocation of dropouts. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Venous ulcer: (1 trial, 16 patients): This trial reported data at six weeks (wound size reduction) and 18 weeks (wound size reduction and healing rate) and suggested a significant &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;benefit of HBOT in terms of &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;reduction in ulcer area &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;only &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;at 6 weeks (WMD 33%, 95%CI 19% to 47%, P&amp;lt;0.00001). &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Arterial and pressure ulcers: No trials that satisfied inclusion criteria were located. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Reviewers' conclusions&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;people &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;with foot &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ulcers due to diabetes&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;, HBOT significantly reduced the risk of major amputation and may improve the chance of healing &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: black;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;at 1 year&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;. The application of HBOT to these patients may be justified where HBOT facilities are available. In any case, thorough economic evaluation should be undertaken. In view of the modest number of patients, methodological shortcomings and poor reporting, this result should be interpreted cautiously however, and an appropriately powered trial of high methodological rigour is justified to verify this promising finding and further define those patients who can be expected to derive most benefit from HBOT. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Regarding the effect of HBOT on chronic wounds associated with other pathological processes, any benefit from HBOT will need to be examined in further, appropriate randomised trials. The routine management of such wounds is not justified at this time on the evidence from this review. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
