Preventive measures
So what works to prevent bedsores?
Dr. Madhuri Reddy, from the Harvardaffi
liated Hebrew Rehabilitation Center
in Boston, set out to answer that question
with a review of the randomized
controlled trials of the various interventions
to prevent bedsores. Experts have
written dozens of review papers on bedsores,
but Dr. Reddy says hers is the first
to systematically analyze the clinical trial
results, so it’s more objective. She and
her colleagues included 59 clinical trials
in their analysis.
