Assessment of pressure ulcer healing involves observation during a complex series of cellular and molecular events that result in repair and restoration of skin integrity and function. Although the most important endpoint in healing is complete wound closure, it may not be a practical measurement in most settings. Assessment, therefore, often relies on measurement of partial healing, including changes in size and other wound characteristics over time. With no consensus about the best method for measurement of healing, it is not surprising that rates of healing have been described in only a few research studies. The establishment of a universal method for wound healing measurement is needed urgently.
压疮愈合的评估涉及在一系列复杂的细胞和分子事件中进行观察,这些事件会导致皮肤完整性和功能的修复与恢复。尽管愈合的最重要终点是伤口完全闭合,但在大多数情况下,这可能不是一个实际的测量指标。因此,评估通常依赖于对部分愈合的测量,包括伤口大小和其他特征随时间的变化。由于对于测量愈合的最佳方法没有达成共识,所以仅有少数研究描述了愈合率也就不足为奇了。迫切需要建立一种通用的伤口愈合测量方法。
