Pressure injuries remain among the most common problems faced by plastic surgeons and comprise a large portion of wound clinic practice. However, little is known about the overall morbidity related to the disease. This research sought to identify the burden related to the diagnosis of pressure injuries.
We used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 to extract information about incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to pressure injuries from 1990 to 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to identify changes in the outcomes of interest.
A relative though not statistically significantly decrease in the incidence and burden of pressure injuries was observed between 1990 and 2017. Rates of incidence in the US appear higher than other higher socio-demographic index countries. No clinically and statistically significant changes were observed based on age or sex.
Pressure injury incidence and burden have remained relatively stable between 1990 and 2017 with no significant improvement noted. There is room for improvement on a national performance level, and further research is needed regarding inconsistencies in regional outcomes.
压疮仍然是整形外科医生面临的最常见问题之一,并且在伤口诊疗实践中占很大比例。然而,对于与该疾病相关的总体发病率知之甚少。本研究旨在确定与压疮诊断相关的负担。
我们使用《2017年全球疾病负担研究》来提取1990年至2017年期间与压疮相关的发病率和伤残调整生命年(DALYs)信息。使用描述性统计来确定感兴趣结果的变化。
1990年至2017年间,压疮的发病率和负担出现了相对下降,但在统计学上无显著差异。美国的发病率似乎高于其他社会人口指数较高的国家。基于年龄或性别未观察到临床和统计学上的显著变化。
1990年至2017年间,压疮的发病率和负担保持相对稳定,未发现显著改善。在国家层面的表现上仍有改进空间,并且需要针对区域结果的不一致性进行进一步研究。
