Abstract

Objective: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) have been widely used in the treatment of hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds, but there is still a lack of sufficient evidence for their combined use for the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds. This systematic review aimed to identify the clinical efficacy and safety of adding adjunctive HBOT to NPWT for hard-to-heal wounds.

Method: Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang were searched from the establishment of the database to March 2022. The literature was screened according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. We assessed the quality of each included study with the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A meta-analysis was performed using R programming software version 4.1.0 (R Project for Statistical Computing, US). The PRISMA 2020 guidelines were used to report data from systematic reviews and meta-analysis.

Results: A total of 15 studies were identified, including nine randomised clinical controlled trials and six retrospective studies. Meta-analysis results showed that NPWT combined with HBOT had better outcomes compared with the NPWT alone with regards to: wound healing rate (odds ratio (OR)=6.77; 95% confidence interval (Cl): 3.53-12.98; p<0.0001); bacterial positive rate of wound (OR=0.16; 95% CI: 0.05-0.55; p=0.0037); wound healing time (mean difference (MD)= -3.86; 95% Cl: -5.18 - -2.53; p<0.0001); wound area (standardised mean difference (SMD)=1.50; 95% Cl: 0.35-2.65; p=0.0104); hospitalisation time (MD= -3.14; 95% Cl: -4.93 - -1.36; p=0.005); and hospitalisation cost (OR= -202.64; 95% Cl: -404.53 - -0.75; p=0.0492). There was no significant difference in pain score (MD= -0.43; 95% Cl: -1.15-0.30; p=0.25).

Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that adjunctive HBOT with NPWT is safe and effective in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds. However, these findings should be interpreted with great caution given the limitations of the studies included.

期刊介绍： Journal of Wound Care (JWC) is the definitive wound-care journal and the leading source of up-to-date research and clinical information on everything related to tissue viability. The journal was first launched in 1992 and aimed at catering to the needs of the multidisciplinary team. Published monthly, the journal’s international audience includes nurses, doctors and researchers specialising in wound management and tissue viability, as well as generalists wishing to enhance their practice. In addition to cutting edge and state-of-the-art research and practice articles, JWC also covers topics related to wound-care management, education and novel therapies, as well as JWC cases supplements, a supplement dedicated solely to case reports and case series in wound care. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed by a panel of international experts, comprised of clinicians, nurses and researchers. Specifically, JWC publishes: High quality evidence on all aspects of wound care, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, the diabetic foot, burns, surgical wounds, wound infection and more The latest developments and innovations in wound care through both preclinical and preliminary clinical trials of potential new treatments worldwide In-depth prospective studies of new treatment applications, as well as high-level research evidence on existing treatments Clinical case studies providing information on how to deal with complex wounds Comprehensive literature reviews on current concepts and practice, including cost-effectiveness Updates on the activities of wound care societies around the world.
