Abstract in brief

The study investigated how cellulitis progresses in patients treated in emergency departments, focusing on clinical features like erythema, warmth, swelling, and pain, as well as patient-reported outcomes over two weeks.
Results showed that most clinical improvements happen by day 3, but some redness and swelling persist in over one-third of patients even after two weeks, and there was a notable difference between clinicians' and patients' assessments of whether the infection had fully healed.
The findings highlight the importance of including both clinician and patient perspectives in evaluating treatment success, suggesting future research should focus on standardized definitions of cure and failure for better management of cellulitis.]
