dc.description.abstractManagement of pressure sores can have various environmental effects; moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic notably affected efforts towards effective management of pressure sores. Some cases of COVID-19 infections require long-term hospitalization in the intensive care unit. Moreover, special protective equipment worn by physicians owing to the pandemic complicate wound management. In this study, we compared the pressure ulcer characteristics between isolated patients with and those without COVID-19 and evaluated the effects of isolation on pressure sores. From November 2022 to February 2023, patients who had pressure sores were included and their medical records were reviewed retrospectively. The experimental group included patients with confirmed COVID-19 infections, who received clinical treatment in an isolated unit. Wound characteristics in each group and associated risk factors were analysed. Fifty-four isolated patients with COVID-19 and 58 control patients were included. The Braden Scale score and Korea patient classification system-1 did not vary significantly between the two groups. However, the number of Grade I pressure sores in the COVID-19 isolation group was significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.001), while the number of lesions was significantly higher (p = 0.034). The mortality rate in the COVID-19 isolation group was higher than that in the control group (p = 0.008), and more patients were discharged with unhealed wounds (p = 0.004). A higher treatment effect on pressure sores may be expected if the disease is more actively managed. Moreover, the wound care systems for isolated patients with COVID-19 require further attention.-
