结局指标
主要结局
Ulcer volume measurement
时间窗: two months
Ulcer volume : The ulcer would be traced on transparent paper and placed over the metric graph paper to have the longest length and width. * A disposable measuring tape would be directed into the deepest point of the ulcer to record the ulcer depth. * (Width x length x depth) would be calculated to have the volume of the ulcer
Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH)
时间窗: two months
Categorize the ulcer with respect to surface area, exudate, and type of wound tissue
Ulcer surface area
时间窗: two months
Ulcer surface (UAS) would be calculated by placing a piece of sterilized transparency film over the ulcer and tracing the ulcer perimeter on the film with fine tipped transparency marker.
