Additional Questions and Answers

Not all questions that were submitted through the Q&A box live during the education day were able to be answered. Please see below for additional answers to questions we couldn't get to live.

Surgical Closure of Pressure Injuries in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury

Food for thought: Nutrition for Pressure Injury Prevention and Treatment

We could only capture the cost in the one year prior to surgery. However, we all know that patients have ulcers for much longer than “one year prior”. This study had limits to timeframe ( as all do).

There was a lot of data missing – including age of the ulcer, and number of ulcerations over the same site, reulceration over the same site post- surgery. The data collected was from one hospital, and so it would not have been possible to find all of this data.

Finally, there were a few patients that had flap closure for 2 ulcers in the same encounter, but this was very low. I hope that this helps to clarify.
