Bedsores

An interesting review article of nearly 60 randomized control trials on bedsores from the last 30 years conducted by Canadian geriatricians Paula Rochon and Madhuri Reddy published in JAMA. They conclude that there is a lack of well designed studies and that the usual preventative interventions such as off loading, repositioning, optimizing nutritional status appear to be appropriate.
