Hola, recientemente hemos publicado un artículo en open access sobre la prevalencia de lesiones cutáneas relacionadas con la dependencia (LCRD) en un hospital pediátrico de tercer nivel con datos sobre prevalencia de lesiones por presión, dermatitis asociada a la incontinencia, complicaciones en heridas quirúrgicas y lesiones cutáneas por extravasación
Pérez-Acevedo G, Torra-Bou JE, Urrea-Ayala M, Bosch-Alacaraz A. Prevalence Of Skin Integrity-Related Injuries In A Tertiary Paediatric Hospital. EC Paediatrics. 2023;12(5): 28-37.
A continuación tenéis el resumen del mismo:
- Introduction: Pressure injuries (PI) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) are two actual and potential health problems for paediatric patients admitted to acute hospitals, with consequences at different levels and with scarce epidemiological information.
- Patients, Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of PI, incontinence, IAD, medical adhesive related injuries (MARSI), surgical wound complications and extravasation skin lesions in a tertiary maternal and child university hospital in Barcelona, Spain.
- Results: The prevalence of PI was estimated at 1.9% in paediatric inpatient units and 14.29% in intensive care units. All PI identified in the study were incident (Hospital acquired). The prevalence of incontinence was 46.79% in inpatient units and 85.19% in intensive care units, with an IAD prevalence of 1.92% and 14.29% respectively.
- Keywords: Paediatric Patients; Pressure Injuries; Incontinence; Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis; Clinical Device-Related Pressure Injuries. Extravasation Injuries.
