While this does not affect my recommendation to approve the project, I did find the background section difficult to follow. Since the main objective here is the relation between initial changes in ER (ulcer size) and long-term outcome, would de-emphasize the focus on PROs in the text of the background. That is, the reader will assume this project is focused on PROs, while that is not really the case.
Recommendation for this data request:
