CXCL8 and infection: The IL- 1β/IL- 1RA ratio showed the highest accuracy for distinguishing healing from non-healing wounds (AUC = 0.6837), while the CXCL8/CXCL10 ratio was most effective in identifying infection (AUC = 0.7669).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Immunomarker profiling via wound swabbing offers valuable insights into the wound healing process.
