Article Abstract
Compression therapy is the gold standard for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Two-layer bandage (2LB) systems have been shown to be a safe and effective treatment option. To estimate the total cost per response (CPR) for the resolution of edema and wounds in patients with CVI treated with a 2LB system as part of their overall wound healing regimen. A probabilistic decision tree model was developed to estimate the incremental CPR for a 2LB system. The model simulated 10 000 patients to estimate the CPR for the resolution of edema and wound healing. The analysis was performed using clinical data from a published single-arm, multicenter prospective study of CVI indicated for compression therapy. The response outcomes of interest were resolution of edema and rate of wound healing. The follow-up time was a maximum of 6 weeks, and the perspective of the study was a US outpatient treatment center. Economic data for compression therapy were based on the public prices of a 2LB system. Dressing changes occurred per manufacturer instructions for use. The study comprised 702 patients (56% female), with a total of 414 wounds. The median duration of the wounds was 42 days, and the median size at the initial visit was 3.5 cm2. The average pain reduction fell by 67% using a visual analog score. Bandages were typically changed once or twice a week (51.7%). Wound healing occurred in 128 of the 414 wounds (30.9%). The expected incremental CPR of a 2LB system for the resolution of edema was $65.67 (range, $16.67-$124.32). The expected incremental CPR of a 2LB system for the healing of a wound was $138.71 (range, $35.71-$273.53). This economic evaluation complements previous clinical effectiveness and safety studies of 2LB systems for the treatment of CVI. The results demonstrate that the costs of incorporating 2LB into standard wound-healing protocols are negligible compared with overall treatment costs. Two-layer bandages may be considered a cost-effective first-line system for the treatment of wounds caused by CVI.

Effects of Ankle Position While Performing One- and Two-Leg Floor Bridging Exercises on Core and Lower Extremity Muscle Recruitment.

Given there are no known studies which have examined multiple lower extremity muscles between different ankle positions during bridging activities, the objective was to assess how employing two different ankle positions (PF versus DF) while performing five common bridging exercises (three bipedal and two unipedal) used in rehabilitation and athletic performance affect core and select lower extremity muscle EMG recruitment. Twenty healthy subjects performed a 5 s isometric hold during five two- and one-leg bridge exercises: (1) on right leg with left knee to chest (1LB-LFlex); (2) on right leg with left knee extended (1LB-LExt); (3) standard two-leg bridge (2LB); (4) two-leg bridge with resistance band around knees (2LB-ABD); and (5) two-leg bridge with ball between knees (2LB-ADD). Surface electromyographic (EMG) data were collected using a Noraxon Telemyo Direct Transmission System from fourteen muscles: (1) three superficial quadriceps (VM, VL, and RF); (2) three hip abductors (TFL, GMED, and GMAX); (3) medial hamstrings (ST) and lateral hamstrings (BF); (4) hip adductors (ADD); (5) erector spinae (ES); (6) latissimus dorsi (LATS); (7) upper rectus abdominis (RA); and (8) external oblique (EO) and internal oblique (IO).

Introduction: Compression therapy is the standard of care for the treatment of lower extremity edema. However, compression therapy systems can be time-consuming to apply, which adds costs to the health care system and further strains human resources.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess time and labor costs associated with the application of a 2LB versus 4LB compression therapy system.
Healing outcomes and predictors among patients with venous leg ulcers treated with compression therapy.

Nursing Division, Sengkang General Hospital, Singapore.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the healing outcomes between three types of compression therapy-two-layer bandage (2LB), four-layer bandage (4LB), and compression stockings, and to identify the predictors of venous leg ulcer (VLU) healing.
Method: A retrospective review of the medical records of patients diagnosed with VLU between 2011 and 2016 in Singapore was conducted. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done between healed and unhealed VLU patients at three and six months, based on potential factors, ranging from demographic profile to comorbidities and treatment-related variables.

Objective: This study evaluates the clinical and cost effectiveness of a 2-layer compression system (2LBA; 3M Coban Two-Layer Compression System; 3M, St Paul, MN) compared with other 2-layer (2LB) and 4-layer (4LB) compression systems in patients with noninfected venous leg ulcers (VLUs).
Methods: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, National Health Service (NHS) Economic Evaluation, and EconLit databases were searched from inception up to January 2017. The MEDLINE search was updated on March 31, 2017.
