Time-to-wound healing pain score during dressing change and cost of treatment were compared between both groups. Time-to-wound closure was significantly
shorter in the Aquacel Ag-treated group (10 ± 3 versus 13.7 ± 4 days, P < 0·02) as well as pain scores at days
1, 3 and 7 (4·1 ± 2·1, 2·1 ± 1·8, 0·9 ± 1·4 versus 6·1 ± 2·3, 5·2 ± 2·1, 3·3 ± 1·9, respectively, P < 0·02).
Total cost of treatment was 52 ± 29 US dollars for the Aquacel Ag-treated group versus 93 ± 36 US dollars for
the silver sulfadiazine-treated group. This study showed that Aquacel Ag increased time to healing, decreased pain
symptoms and increased patient convenience because of limiting the frequency of replacement of the dressing at
lower total cost. This study confirms the efficacy of Aquacel Ag for the treatment of partial thickness burns at an
outpatient clinic.
