Clinical benefits of wounds, two systematic reviews: clinical and economic.

Abstract

TSkin lesions or chronic wounds do not heal due to problems in the phases of normal tissue repair such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure injuries; which are treatable although in some institutions or hospital settings there is no qualified staff, which brings clinical and economic problems that could be remedied by having specialized wound clinics. The aim of this work was to analyze, through two systematic, clinical and economic reviews, the benefits of wound clinics with multidisciplinary approaches to the treatment of chronic wounds. To do this, a review was made in several databases. After the analysis of the information it is concluded that the implementation of wound clinics with a multidisciplinary team for the treatment of diabetic foot and pressure injuries brings optimal clinical and economic results by giving a higher cure rate, reduces the number of amputations, decreases In-hospital stay, low readmissions, improves quality of life and saves costs with respect to treatment.
