Filter by:The goal of the Cellular and Tissue Based Therapy Registry (CTPR) for Wounds is to provide real world patient data from electronic health records submitted to meet Stage 2 Meaningful Use in order to understand the value of these products among patients with chronic wounds and ulcers. Randomized, controlled trials to establish product efficacy routinely exclude patients with the co-morbid conditions common to patients seen in usual clinical practice and thus the results of these RCTs tend to be non-generalizable. Little is known about the effectiveness of CTPs among typical patients.
To assess the efficacy of the PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix and compare its performance with usual and customary practice for the treatment of chronic non-healing pressure ulcers (PU).
This investigation plans to initiate the healing of chronic wounds by providing a concentrated platelet and growth factor therapy directly to the wound site by topical delivery. This therapy will be derived from autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP), an emerging surgical and wound care treatment. This investigation aims to demonstrate that patients with chronic, non-healing wounds treated with autologous PRP and standard medical care have a reduction in wound volume and improved healing rate that results in patient-centered clinically significant health outcomes as compared to patients treated with standard medical care only.
Patients admitted in the Emergency Service that have pressure ulcers will be selected by eligibility criteria and randomized into three groups according to the adopted therapy: wound dressing (CG); wound dressing + high-frequency generator group (GAF); and wound dressing + low-level laser therapy group (GLBP).
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to test the efficacy of preventive dressings for pressure ulcer prevention.
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
The aim of this retrospective study is to overall evaluate and validate preoperative and intra-operative risk factors for postoperative pressure ulcers in critically ill postoperative patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the number of and degree of pressure ulcers healed, as measured by intact skin at the original ulcer site at 6 months of follow-up in patients randomized to immediate operative closure versus those who are maintained in a wound care program in patients with Stage 3 and 4 sacral and peri-sacral decubitus ulcers.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a PU prevention programme for for-profit private nursing homes
This study is designed to demonstrate the outcome of complete ulcer closure of patients with Wagner Grade 1-4 DFUs, VLUs or Stage II-IV PUs using AutoloGel versus Usual and Customary Care (UCC).
