[/x_custom_headline][x_text]A recent James Lind Alliance exercise identified shared priorities for research in pressure ulcers (http://www.jla.nihr.ac.uk/priority-setting-partnerships/pressure-ulcers/top-10-priorities/).  The effectiveness of surgical closure is one of these priorities.

Following this, the NIHR’s Health Technology Assessment programme has called for a research study into the surgical management of grade 3 and 4 pressures ulcers.

The RSTN is collaborating with colleagues around the UK (Leeds, Sheffield and Bristol) to prepare a submission to the NIHR in response to the call.

Question

What further primary research is required to evaluate surgical interventions for stage III and IV pressure ulcers?

Plan
  1. Survey of practice
  2. Cohort study

A preliminary clinician survey have been completed to support the application. A submission to the NIHR has been made.[/x_text][/x_column][x_column bg_color=”” type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_gap size=”20px”][x_accordion][x_accordion_item title=”Status” open=”true”][icon_list][icon_list_item type=”check-square-o”]Pilot centre data collection[/icon_list_item][icon_list_item type=”check-square-o”]National data collection [/icon_list_item] [icon_list_item type=”check-square-o”]Data analysis[/icon_list_item] [icon_list_item type=”square”]Manuscript submission [/icon_list_item][icon_list_item type=”square-o”]Publication [/icon_list_item][/icon_list][/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Development group” open=”false”]Jane Nixon, Leeds (Chief Investigator)
