Description
Can Boztug and co-authors link nutrition support to wound shrinkage during vacuum therapy in a 2026 retrospective study. Complex wounds need raw material to contract and granulate, and negative pressure therapy is central to their care. Whether feeding support changes outcomes in this setting needed testing.
Records covered forty eight adults treated for complex wounds, split by whether they received nutritional supplementation. Failure to shrink was far less common in the supplemented group. The association held directionally after adjustment for body mass and artery disease. Supplemented patients carried higher nutrition risk at baseline, which makes the favorable result notable.
