The long-term objective is to quantify the journey of patients with hard-to-heal wounds to identify ideal intervention points that will lead to the best outcomes. This article summarises the findings, implications, limitations and suggestions for future research.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Qualitative data were self-reported from patients with hard-to-heal wounds (open for ≥4 weeks) in a pilot chatbot survey, (Wound Expert Survey (WES)) provided online in the US on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) between 2021 and 2022.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The US national pilot survey attracted responses from 780 patients, 27 of whom provided a video testimonial. Some 57% of patients delayed treatment because they believed their wound would heal on its own, and only 4% saw a wound care specialist. Respondents reported the cost of care as the most frequent reason for not following all of a doctor's treatment recommendations. Queries regarding quality of life (QoL) revealed that more than half (65%) said they have negative thoughts associated with their wound at least every few days. Some 19% of respondents said their wound had an odour and, of them, 34% said odour had a major or severe negative impact on their self-confidence. Economically, nearly one-quarter of respondents said having a wound led to a drop in their total household income and 17% said their wound led to a change in their employment status.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A national pilot survey of patients with hard-to-heal wounds revealed that many delay seeking professional assistance and only a small minority see a wound care specialist. Experiencing an ulcer, even for a few months, can have significant negative effects on a patient's QoL. Patients frequently had negative thoughts associated with their wound, and odour compounded these negative effects, leading to major or severe negative impacts on self-confidence. Households experienced a decline in income, due to both the direct reduction or loss of patient employment and the additional time spent by family members assisting in patient recovery. Thus, a variety of factors contribute to poor outcomes for patients with hard-to-heal wounds. To validate and extend these preliminary results, future surveys of patients with hard-to-heal wounds should focus on additional reasons patients do not seek professional help sooner. To improve health outcomes and QoL, assessment of patient socioeconomic variables should occur whenever wound closure stalls.</p>","PeriodicalId":17590,"journal":{"name":"Journal of wound care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142400638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the many benefits of using MDT is its antimicrobial effect. Maggots secrete substances that are known to have antibacterial properties against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

However, these dressings are still often reported as second-line options, potentially leading to loss of opportunity for patients and additional costs for payers. This review aimed to explore the reported wound healing and patient outcomes as well as the related costs when the dressings were used as first-line treatment in patients with different types of chronic wounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;A systematic review of the literature was conducted. Databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, and Google Scholar) were searched up to 1 February 2024, without any language or time period limitations. Studies were eligible if the evaluated dressings had been used as a first-line treatment for chronic wounds, that is, as an integral part of the standard of care (SoC) at the patient's first presentation and/or in recent wounds. The main evaluation criteria included: wound healing rate; time to reach wound closure; change in patients' quality of life (QoL); and associated costs. The quality of evidence of the included studies was appraised using well-recognised risk-of-bias tools suitable for different study designs. A narrative synthesis describes the findings in three sections depending on the type of comparison. This report followed the principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 17 studies published between 2017 and 2024 met the eligibility criteria. A comparative analysis between TLC-NOSF dressings and standard dressings, both of which were used as first-line treatment, was reported in nine studies. A comparative analysis between the use of TLC-NOSF dressings as first-line and second-line treatments was reported in eight studies, and five studies reported a systematic use of the TLC-NOSF dressing as first-line treatment without a control group. Overall, the included studies had a relatively low risk of bias for the respective types of evidence. Data of 10,191 patients of both sexes and different age groups with a total of 10,203 wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and other types of chronic wounds) were included in the analysis: 7775 treated with the evaluated dressing and 2428 treated with a comparator dressing. The data suggested that using TLC-NOSF as a first-line treatment for chronic wounds consistently resulted in significantly higher healing rates, shorter healing times, and cost savings compared with standard dressings used under similar conditions. Real-life evidence confirmed the results obtained in clinical trials and economic models, within similar ranges, regardless of the settings involved or of the characteristics of the patients and wounds treated.
