Article Synopsis
- The prevalence of hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is difficult to assess due to their complex nature and low awareness among healthcare professionals, leading to diagnostic confusion.
- This Delphi study aimed to establish a consensus on a core outcome set to evaluate symptoms important to individuals with HSD/hEDS, involving input from patients, their families, and healthcare providers through a structured survey process.
- Ultimately, 30 critical symptoms were identified and categorized across various specialties, marking the first consensus-based core outcome set specifically for assessing the impact of HSD/hEDS in patients.
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are increasingly implicated in both acute and chronic wound infections. The limited therapeutic options are further compromised by the fact that wound bacteria often co-exist within a biofilm community which enhances bacterial tolerance to antibiotics. As a consequence, topical antiseptics may be an important consideration for minimising the opportunity for wound infections involving MDROs.
