Outcome measurement instruments for erythema associated with incontinence-associated dermatitis: Systematic review.

Aim: To: (a) examine which outcome measurement instruments for erythema associated with incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) with supporting evidence about measurement properties are available; (b) evaluate the methodological quality of the studies and the quality of the measurement properties; and (c) identify eligible instruments to measure erythema in incontinence-associated dermatitis research.

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and CENTRAL were systematically searched until July 2018 (update December 2018).

Prevalence and associated factors of intertrigo in aged nursing home residents: a multi-center cross-sectional prevalence study.

Background: In geriatric and long-term care settings, intertrigo seems to be common, but generalizable epidemiological estimates are lacking. Aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of intertrigo in aged nursing home residents and to identify possible relationships with demographic and health characteristics.

Methods: A cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted between September 2014 and May 2015 in a random sample of ten institutional long-term care facilities in Berlin, Germany.
