Randomized Controlled Trial
Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't
Patients with chronic neurological diseases who were at high risk of decubitus ulcers were randomly assigned to alternating air on silicore mattress overlays for a period of 3 months. Of 148 subjects who completed the trial, more than 50% in each group developed one or more ulcers. No statistically significant differences between groups were found in the incidence, severity, healing duration or the location of the ulcers; with the exception of a significant difference (p less than 0.001) in the categorical location of the trochanters.
