Incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) is a specific type of irritant contact with different severity levels. An internationally accepted instrument to assess the IAD in adults, established diagnostic accuracy, agreement and reliability, needed support clinical practice research. To design Ghent Global Categorization Tool (GLOBIAD) evaluate its psychometric properties. The was based on expert consultation using three‐round Delphi procedure 34 experts from 13 countries. tested photographs,...
Skin tears are acute wounds that frequently misdiagnosed and under-reported. A standardized globally adopted skin tear classification system with supporting evidence for diagnostic validity reliability is required to allow assessment reporting in a consistent way.
Silicone adhesive multilayer foam dressings are used as adjuvant therapy to prevent hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (PUs).To determine whether silicone in addition standard prevention reduce the incidence of PUs category 2 or worse compared with alone.This was a multicentre, randomized controlled medical device trial conducted eight Belgian hospitals. At-risk adult patients were centrally (n = 1633) study groups based on 1 : allocation: experimental 542) and 545) - pooled treatment group...
Abstract Aim To develop and psychometrically evaluate a skin tear knowledge assessment instrument (OASES). Design Prospective psychometric validation study. Method The was developed based on literature review expert input ( N = 19). Face content validity were assessed in two‐round Delphi procedure by 10 international experts affiliated with the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP). tested convenience sample of 387 nurses 37 countries (April–May 2020). Validity multiple‐choice test...
The best way to prevent and treat diaper dermatitis (nappy rash) in babies has been the topic of research for decades. However this skin problem can also occur adults, where it is known as incontinence‐associated (IAD). It a specific type irritant contact ‐ eczema caused when with something causes irritation (rather than an allergy), case prolonged urine or faeces. hard know exactly how many people suffer from IAD there not one set internationally agreed diagnostic criteria (e.g. list...
With respect to human health, nutritional guidelines emphasise on increasing the ratio poly-unsaturated/saturated fatty acids (P/S) (> 0.7) and reducing n-6/n-3 (< 5). Beef is generally characterised by a low P/S (0.1), while may vary between 2 10 depending feeding strategy. Hence, provision of n-3 diet crucial for optimising acid composition meat. However, PUFA are hydrolysed subsequently hydrogenated in rumen more saturated intermediates that absorbed from intestinal tract...
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are localised injuries to the skin and/or underlying tissue, usually occurring over a bony prominence, as result of pressure or combined with shearing.1 The first publication related PU, identified in Medline database, dates back 1886.2 More recently (15 June 2019), search strategy combining terms “pressure sore,” “bed ulcer,” injury,” and “decubitus” using PubMed engine, revealed total 69 797 publications. Although solid body knowledge exists on PU epidemiology,...
