Abstract
Background: Even though ongoing intervention is essential, several uncertainties remain about the management of intraoperative pressure wound ulcers in breast cancer patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the ongoing intervention for intraoperative pressure wound ulcer problems related with female breast cancer patients, a meta-analysis study was conducted.
Material and methods: Up until June 2024, comprehensive literature study was completed and 2,720 related studies were found. At the beginning point, 9 studies that were chosen included 1,467 women with breast cancer. Using dichotomous or continuous techniques and a random model, the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to evaluate the impact of continuous intervention for intraoperative pressure wound ulcers-associated difficulties in women with breast cancer.
Results: In comparison to the control group of female breast cancer patients, continuous intervention resulted in significantly better quality of life (QoL) (MD = 8.07; 95% CI: 4.84-11.29, p < 0.001), fewer intraoperative pressure wound ulcers (OR = 0.18; 95% CI: 0.13-0.24, p < 0.001) and higher Braden risk score (OR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.91-2.31, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: In comparison to the control group, women with breast cancer undergoing continuous intervention experienced a significantly better QoL fewer intraoperative pressure wound ulcers, and had a higher Braden risk score. However, because there were not many studies chosen for comparison in the meta-analysis, reader's discretion is advised regarding its results.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
