Description
Eduardo Sánchez-Sánchez and colleagues run a trial of a calorie- and protein-rich supplement, boosted with immune-support nutrients, for undernourished patients with many illnesses. Pressure sores grow more likely when chronic disease, many drugs, immobility, and poor nutrition stack together. One added nutrient, arginine, plays a known part in wound healing.
The trial was randomized and single-blind, with the supplement group set against standard care. Early data hinted that the boosted supplement could lower both new sores and the total sore burden in these patients. The authors treat the results as a first step, calling for a larger trial to confirm the effect. For wards caring for frail patients, even a small drop in sores would spare pain and shorten stays.
