Whether treated with surgery or by conservative, nonsurgical measures, pressure ulcers recur in 5% to 91% of spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. Factors other than the surgical technique used or the standard conservative management provided may be responsible. A retrospective study of 176 SCI patients with a history of one or more pressure ulcers was conducted at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Castle Point, N.Y. Approximately 35% of patients who received either surgical or nonsurgical treatment had a recurrence. Patients who smoked and patients with diabetes or cardiovascular disease had higher recurrence rates.
无论是接受手术治疗还是保守的非手术治疗，5%至91%的脊髓损伤（SCI）患者会出现压疮复发。复发原因可能并非所采用的手术技术或标准保守治疗措施，而是其他因素。纽约城堡角退伍军人事务医疗中心对176例有一处或多处压疮病史的SCI患者进行了一项回顾性研究。接受手术或非手术治疗的患者中，约35%出现了复发。吸烟患者以及患有糖尿病或心血管疾病的患者复发率更高。
