In this multicentre clinical trial, 26 patients with chronic Wagner one diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) were treated with a unique human keratin matrix graft applied either weekly or bi-weekly, in addition to standard of care. The hypothesis was that bi-weekly application would be similar to weekly application. The primary endpoint was complete wound closure by 12 weeks, and secondary endpoints included healing time, percent area reduction and weekly changes in peripheral neuropathy, pain and quality of life. In the intent-to-treat population, 77% (10/13) of DFUs treated with bi-weekly application healed compared with 69% (9/13) treated with weekly application. The mean time to heal within 12 weeks in the bi-weekly group was 61 days and in the weekly group was 54 days. The mean percent area reduction at 12 weeks was 94.7% in the bi-weekly group compared with 84.8% in the weekly group. The number of grafts used in the bi-weekly group was 3.9 compared with 6.2 in the weekly group.

Surgical site infections and wound dehiscences are among the most important surgical wound complications, with a high incidence in paediatric patients undergoing surgery for non-idiopathic scoliosis. Incisional negative pressure wound therapy for surgical incisions is used as a preventive measure against surgical wound complications in adults; however, there has been scant evidence for using it in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of incisional negative pressure wound therapy in preventing surgical wound complications in paediatric patients undergoing surgery to treat non-idiopathic scoliosis. Randomized clinical trial. Children younger than 18 years of age undergoing surgery for non-idiopathic scoliosis were randomly assigned into two groups to receive one of two different types of dressings for the first 7 days after surgery. One group were treated with a postoperative hydrofibre and hydrocolloid dressing with silver for wounds (control group), and the other group received a single-use incisional negative pressure wound therapy system (intervention group). The wounds were assessed after removal of the dressings at 7 days after surgery and again at 30, 90, and 180 days after surgery. Surgical wound complications, sociodemographic variables, variables related to the procedure and postoperative period, economic costs of treatment of surgical wound complications, and time to healing of the surgical wound were recorded. Per protocol and per intention to treat analysis was made. The per protocol incidence of surgical wound complications was 7.7% in the intervention group versus 38.5% in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.009; Fisher exact test. RR = 0.20 IC95%: 0.05–0.83). Surgical wound dehiscence, surgical site infections, seroma, and fibrin were the most common surgical wound complications. The type of surgery, duration of surgery, and patients' age were associated with a higher risk for surgical wound complications. Postoperative hydrofibre and hydrocolloid dressing with silver for wounds were found to be associated with a longer time to healing. Initial costs for dressings in the group receiving incisional negative pressure wound therapy were higher, but the total postoperative costs were higher for those receiving postoperative hydrofibre and hydrocolloid dressing with silver for wounds. It was found that for each US$1.00 of extra costs for using incisional negative pressure wound therapy, there was a benefit of US$12.93 in relation to the cost of complications prevented.

However, several methodological considerations and limitations warrant further discussion to enhance the study's impact and validity:</p><p>Firstly, the study's statistical power is intrinsically tied to the sample size. The relatively small sample size used in this research may undermine the robustness of the findings, leading to an increased margin of error and reduced reliability of the conclusions.<span><sup>2</sup></span> Cohort studies require a sufficiently large sample to ensure the precision and generalizability of the results.</p><p>Secondly, retrospective cohort studies, such as this one, are prone to various biases. Incomplete recording of medical and laboratory data in patient files poses a significant risk. Moreover, the study did not adjust for critical confounding variables such as patient comorbidities and previous antimicrobial use, which could significantly impact the outcomes. A more rigorous adjustment for these factors is essential to accurately assess the relationship between antibiotic therapy and AMR.</p><p>Another notable limitation is the short follow-up period for monitoring antimicrobial resistance, which was confined to the duration of hospital stays. This approach fails to capture the long-term dynamics of AMR development and the recurrence of IFI post-discharge.

However, the methodological limitations outlined above restrict the broader applicability of the results. Addressing these limitations in future research is essential to develop more effective strategies for managing IFI and combating AMR.</p><p>In conclusion, despite these limitations, the study by Salm et al. offers valuable insights into AMR patterns in IFI cases.
