Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of using multilayer silicone foam dressings for preventing pressure ulcers in high-risk hospital patients compared to standard prevention methods.
- - Results from a randomized controlled trial indicate a 41% reduction in the risk of developing new pressure ulcers using these dressings, with a favorable impact on quality of life for patients without ulcers.
- - The analysis suggests that using silicone foam dressings can be both clinically effective and cost-neutral, supporting their use in similar hospital populations.
Background: Investigator-led multicentre randomised trials are essential to generate evidence on the optimal use of medical interventions. These non-commercial trials are often hampered by underfunding, which may lead to difficulties in gathering a team with the necessary expertise, a delayed trial start, slow recruitment and even early trial discontinuation. As a new public funder of pragmatic clinical trials, the KCE Trials programme was committed to correctly pay all trial activities in order to assure timely delivery of high-quality trial results.
