摘要: Transcutaneous oximetry (P(tc) O(2) ) has been proposed as a method to predict nonhealing of chronic wounds and the occurrence healing complications. However, validity this an independent predictor optimal threshold value for tool are poorly defined. We undertook systematic review meta-analysis address these questions, searching five major medical databases, relevant articles, reference lists. included all studies that used multivariable analysis evaluate P(tc) its ability wound Article selection data abstraction were conducted independently in duplicate. Four studies, enrolling 901 patients with 910 lower extremity wounds, met our inclusion criteria. These showed peri-wound level below cutoff 20 mmHg or 30 mmHg was complications (odds ratio 3.21, 95% confidence interval 1.07-9.69, I(2) = 77%). A most frequently strongest association. This limited by small number possible reporting bias, heterogeneity. results suggest measurements have prognostic assessment but further research is required confirm findings define value.
