Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of skin autofluorescence (SAF) as a noninvasive method to assess the risk of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) by measuring levels of advanced glycation end products in tissue.* -
- A total of six studies, involving 611 participants, were analyzed, showing that SAF levels were significantly higher in patients with DFUs compared to those without, indicating a strong association with DFU risk.* -
- The results suggest that SAF could be a valuable tool for predicting DFU risk, but the authors emphasize the need for more research to confirm its effectiveness for diagnosis and prognosis.*

Background: Pressure injuries (PIs) are a significant concern for patients with very limited mobility in skilled nursing facilities. Conflicting clinical guidelines and a lack of effectiveness data for the various support surfaces reduces the efficacy of PI prevention programs.
Objective: To assess the preventive effectiveness (incidence of facility-acquired PIs) of a low-profile alternating pressure (AP) support surface plus facility-specific PI prevention programs in patients at high risk for PI.
