Pressure ulcers are a major burden to patients because they affect health, well-being, and health-related quality of life. Thus, prevention and early treatment of pressure ulcers is a major challenge for health care professionals.
To compare the efficacy of hydrocellular and hydrocolloid dressings after 8 weeks of treatment of category II pressure ulcers.
A prospective multicenter clinical trial with blinded outcome assessors.
Adult patients with category II pressure ulcers from primary and long-term care institutions on Majorca island.
Category II ulcers were treated with ALLEVYN Adhesive dressings or VARIHESIVE GEL CONTROL dressings, with the primary outcome being healing of the ulcers in 8 weeks. Blinded confirmation of ulcer healing was performed by a treatment-group assessment committee. Estimates of cumulative survival probabilities were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and analyses of effectiveness were performed using the chi-squared test.
A total of 169 patients with pressure ulcers were enrolled, 84 of whom received hydrocellular dressings and 85 of whom received hydrocolloid dressings. A total of 58% were women and 56% were from primary care institutions. The hydrocellular dressing group had a higher percentage of healed pressure ulcers at 8 weeks (90.7% vs. 77.1%, p = 0.039) and a shorter average healing time (3 weeks vs. 4 weeks, p = 0.015). Analysis of safety outcomes at 8 weeks indicated that the hydrocellular dressing group had a smaller proportion of ulcers that were unhealed (3.9% vs. 7.1%) and a smaller proportion of ulcers that progressed to a higher category or infection (5.3% vs. 15.7%), although these differences were not statistically significant.
This study of patients with category II pressure ulcers indicated that hydrocellular dressings were superior to hydrocolloid dressings in terms of healing at 8 weeks and time required for healing, although these two dressings had similar safety profiles.
压疮给患者带来了沉重负担,因为它们影响健康、幸福感和与健康相关的生活质量。因此,预防和早期治疗压疮是医疗保健专业人员面临的主要挑战。
比较水胶体和水凝胶敷料在治疗 II 期压疮 8 周后的疗效。
一项具有盲法结局评估员的前瞻性多中心临床试验。
马略卡岛初级和长期护理机构的 II 期压疮成年患者。
II 期溃疡采用 ALLEVYN 粘性敷料或 VARIHESIVE GEL CONTROL 敷料治疗,主要结局为 8 周内溃疡愈合。由治疗组评估委员会对溃疡愈合进行盲法确认。使用 Kaplan-Meier 法确定累积生存概率估计值,并使用卡方检验进行有效性分析。
共纳入 169 例压疮患者,其中 84 例接受水胶体敷料治疗,85 例接受水凝胶敷料治疗。女性占 58%,初级保健机构患者占 56%。水胶体敷料组 8 周时愈合的压疮比例更高(90.7%比 77.1%,p=0.039),平均愈合时间更短(3 周比 4 周,p=0.015)。8 周时安全性结局分析表明,水胶体敷料组未愈合溃疡的比例更小(3.9%比 7.1%),溃疡进展为更高类别或感染的比例更小(5.3%比 15.7%),尽管这些差异无统计学意义。
这项 II 期压疮患者研究表明,水胶体敷料在 8 周时愈合和愈合所需时间方面优于水凝胶敷料,尽管这两种敷料具有相似的安全性特征。
