SWHSI-2 Papers!
New papers… SWHSI-2 has reported… Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is… No better. Not cost-effective. Expensive. No change in: Pain Time to healing Infections Adverse events plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose I enjoyed my time on the Trial Steering Committee - thank you for the opportunity. Anyway, here are the papers so far. Main Paper: SWHSI-2 - Lancet Paper 00143-6) Cost-effectiveness paper: SWHSI-2 - BJS Paper Essentially NPWT does nothing better than normal care. Obviously in some circumstances can be helpful, but rarely. Terrifyingly mean healing time of these wounds is 6 months! Wellpark, Alphington Street, Exeter, England, United Kingdom
