- - Reports of antimicrobial resistance have led some clinicians to use alternative wound dressings called DACC-coated dressings, claiming antimicrobial activity despite being non-medicated.
- - A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these dressings on chronic wound healing and infection control, using the GRADE framework and PICO format to structure the research.
- - The review analyzed 748 records, ultimately including 10 relevant studies, but found the overall quality of evidence to be very low, highlighting the need for more rigorous randomized controlled trials for better clarity on DACC-coated dressings.
