Categorical Improvement (Degree of Improvement)

"Categorical success/failure data. the size of the granuloma will be measured and recorded. The percent circumference will also be measured. The approximate percent decrease in the granuloma size will be determined to determine the category subject's change in granuloma:~i. Complete resolution: >90% improvement (Score = 4) ii. Improvement: 50 - 90% improvement (Score = 3) iii. Minimal improvement: < 50% improvement (Score = 2) iv. No improvement (Score = 1) v. Worsening (Score = 0)" (NCT02116608)

Success and Failure Rates for Each Treatment Method

"Definition of success: The investigators are defining successful treatment of tracheostomy granulomas as a decrease in the frequency of granulomas over a six week observation period using the assigned treatment or partial or complete resolution of the granuloma. Partial resolution is defined as 25-75% resolution and complete resolution is defined as greater than 75% resolution.~Definition of failure: The investigators are defining a treatment as a failure if during the six week observation period of using the assigned treatment, there is either no improvement in the resolution or there has been an increase in size or frequency of tracheostomy granulomas."

Decrease in Size (mm) of Granulation Tissue

Measurements are calculated from photographs taken with a millimeter ruler next to granulation tissue on a horizontal plane and a vertical plane. The horizontal and vertical diameters are averaged and then halved, to give a radius which is squared and multiplied by Pi for an approximate area. The area at 8 weeks is subtracted from the area at baseline, to calculate the change and then they are averaged across the individuals with pre and post data for the arm. This approximation is limited by the fact that the shape and all the dimensions of the granulation tissue are highly variable. In order to measure the change the horizontal and vertical diameters were averaged as if they were a circle. This is a limitation of the analysis. (NCT02519738)

Pain Using 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

"Chest pain was measured using a 100 mm VAS scale at baseline and at each subsequent visit. The resulting VAS score ranges from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating No pain and 100 indicating Very severe pain. Therefore, the lower the number, the less chest pain the subject is feeling at the time."
