A Summary of Posters Presented at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care: 2003 and 2004
Poster topics and study designs presented at the 2003 and 2004 Symposium on Advanced Wound Care were summarized and compared to gain insight into current wound care developments and trends. The percentage of product-related posters increased from 54% in 2003 to 76.5% in 2004. The greatest increase was observed in the so-called physical treatment modalities category (eg, vacuum-assisted closure, electrical stimulation). They represented 11% of poster topics in 2003 compared to more than 25% in 2004. The proportion of laboratory research studies presented decreased from 25% to 10% of posters while the percentage of clinical case studies increased from 40% to 50%. These observations may provide useful information to clinicians and manufacturers. KEYWORDS: wound care products, silver, antimicrobial, antibacterial, marketing

A Three-Year Multiphase Pressure Ulcer Prevalence/Incidence Study in a Regional Referral Hospital
Pressure ulcers can have a devastating impact on health and care provision, ranging from patient discomfort and increased healthcare costs to a potential reflection on the quality of care. To evaluate the outcomes of prevention education and skin integrity interventions on the incidence of pressure ulcers, a multiphase project was initiated in an urban 154-bed regional referral community hospital in Ontario, Canada that provides care to an urban and rural population. The prevalence study included 84 adult subjects at baseline, 77 after one year (Phase 1), and 100 after 3 years (Phase 2). The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk and a data collection form were used to record prevalence, incidence, stage, and location of pressure ulcers, and related documented interventions. Incidence data were obtained from patient charts and defined as ulcers that developed >24 hours following admission. Phase 1 interventions involved staff education and replacement of existing skin care products. Phase 2 interventions included adoption of pressure ulcer prevention protocols, advanced wound care products, improved support surface usage, modification of documentation methods, and staff education. Of the 84 patients assessed at baseline, 15 (17.9 %) developed 22 pressure ulcers compared to four of 77 (5.2%) during Phase 1 and two out of 100 (2.0%) during Phase 2. The difference between baseline and both subsequent time points was statistically significant (P < 0.05). These results suggest that education and the implementation of appropriate skin care products and procedures and pressure ulcer prevention protocols may reduce the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.
