The risk of wound-related issues was approximately 2-fold in adult patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) undergoing total hip/knee arthroplasty vs those without HS.
Based on the analysis of electronic health records from 480 clinics, we found that better care quality and continuity are associated with better-than-expected wound healing performance.
Health insurance records of patients using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) revealed lower adjusted 90-day wound-related costs with remote therapy monitoring vs NPWT alone.
A case series found that skin-stretching external fixation devices coupled with negative pressure wound therapy was effective in treating large skin defects, suggesting that this method may be a cost-effective and safe alternative to more risky traditional methods.
A patient with a diabetic foot wound who underwent negative pressure wound therapy experienced good healing, reduced amputation risk, and no wound infection, suggesting the treatment method could be effective in other patients with similar wounds.
