Pressure injury identification, measurement, coding, and reporting: Key challenges and opportunities
Pressure injury (PI) rates are a commonly used indicator of performance of health care facilities, both in acute and subacute settings. However, measuring PI rates in an accurate and reproducible fashion has been challenging. The consequences of poor measurement may include failure to identify poorly performing institutions or incorrect accusations of poor quality care. In this article, we describe the main challenges in identification, coding, and reporting of PIs. Issues include inconsistent identification of PIs at the time of admission, variations in the intensity of PI detection, and differing approaches to coding and...

Factors associated with physical activity levels in people with venous leg ulcers: A multicentre, prospective, cohort study
Increasing levels of physical activity among people with venous leg ulcers (VLUs) can potentially reduce the health cost burden, improve functional aspects of patients’ lives and increase ulcer healing rates. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with physical activity levels in patients with VLUs. Data from 2016 to 2017 Aspirin for Venous Leg Ulcer cohort study were analysed for the present study. Ninety participants were recruited from 5 outpatient specialist wound clinics across Victoria, Australia between August 2016 and April 2017. There was a statistically significant association between diabe...
