Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The most frequently cited and/or best-designed studies of pressure sore prevention and treatment in the last 25 years are almost all uncontrolled. These studies are critically reviewed. An appropriate methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of decubitus ulcer management, based on data and experience, is outlined. A suggested treatment protocol is described.
