Pressure injuries in Australian public hospitals: A cost of illness study

Son Nghiem et al.

Summary: This study estimated the cost of pressure injuries in Australian public hospitals in 2020, demonstrating the economic burden they placed on the healthcare system. The total cost of pressure injuries was found to be AUD 9.11 billion, with the largest shares attributed to excess length of stay and treatment costs. It was concluded that reducing preventable pressure injuries and stopping the progression of early-stage pressure injuries could lead to significant cost savings for Australia and other countries with comparable healthcare systems.

Process evaluation of an intervention to test the effectiveness of foam border dressings in preventing hospital-acquired sacral pressure injuries (the EEPOC trial): A

Ishtar Lockwood et al.

Summary: This study describes a process evaluation of a multicenter randomized controlled trial investigating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of prophylactic foam border dressings in reducing hospital-acquired sacral pressure injury incidence. The evaluation includes qualitative and quantitative methods to assess the feasibility and trustworthiness of the intervention. The findings will provide valuable insights into the impact and contextual factors influencing trial outcomes.

Process evaluations undertaken alongside randomised controlled trials in the hospital setting: A scoping review

Ishtar Lockwood et al.

Summary: This scoping review examines the process evaluations conducted alongside clinical trials in hospital settings. The findings highlight the complexity of implementing interventions in hospitals. More standardized and explicit reporting of process evaluations, as well as the use of frameworks to guide evaluations, are needed.
