There is a high incidence of pressure ulcers in high‐risk settings such as intensive care. emerging evidence that the application dressings to ulcer predilection areas (sacrum and heels) improves prevention strategies. To determine whether preventive dressings, applied sacrum heels patients care units, addition standard prevention, reduces ulcers. Between June 2015 July 2018, randomized, controlled, two‐arm, superiority pragmatic study was performed with concealed 1 : allocation intervention...
Geriatric patients are affected by a range of skin conditions and dermatological diseases, functional limitations chronic diseases. Skin problems highly prevalent in elderly populations.

This observational, cross-sectional, descriptive prevalence conducted random sample 10 institutional facilities Berlin. In total, n = 223 residents were included. Demographic...
Summary Results of clinical trials are the most important information source for generating external evidence. The use different outcomes across trials, which investigate similar interventions patient groups, significantly limits interpretation, comparability and application trial results. Core outcome sets (COSs) aim to overcome this limitation. A COS is an agreed standardized collection that should be measured reported in all a specific condition. Outcome Set Initiative within Cochrane...
Non-melanoma-skin cancer is an emerging clinical problem in the elderly, fair skinned population which predominantly affects patients aged older than 70 years.
