Abstrakt		Decrease in wound area over time has been modeled either with exponential or linear models, which are two-parameter mathematical models. In our study threeparameter models were considered and the best of them was compared to two-parameter models. In the first step, delayed exponential, sigmoid, logistic and Gompertz models were compared. In the second step, linear and exponential model were compared to the best of three-parameter models, i.e., the delayed exponential model. Since the most universal model was searched for, asessment of the models was based on all etiologies of chronic wounds and all kinds of wound treatments. The delayed exponential model, which is the most universal one, has strong prediction capabilities and could be used to help the physician to choose the most appropriate treatment for their patient after initial observation period.
