Determinants of the Success of Flap Reconstruction: Outcome Analysis of 484 Surgeries for Pressure Injury

Completed

• Conditions: Pressure Injury
• Interventions: Procedure: flap reconstruction

• Registration Number: NCT05441293
• Lead Sponsor: Taipei Medical University WanFang Hospital

Brief Summary

Background: Pressure injury (PI) mainly occurs in bedridden older adults or those with physical limitations. PI treatment is typically long-term, requiring coordination between health-care workers and the patient's caregiver. Here, we aimed to determine the appropriate timing to conduct flap reconstruction in patients with PIs and identify factors affecting surgical outcomes.

Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients who received debridement or flap reconstruction surgery for PIs in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2021. The extracted data included patient demographics, surgical records, blood test results, vital signs, and flap outcomes. Next, these characteristics including the flap outcomes of our patients with PIs were analyzed, along with the risk factors for poor wound healing and complications.
