Abstract
Objective To evaluate clinical effects of vacuum sealing drainage(VSD)and conventional dressing in treatment of diabetic foot(DF)ulcers. Methods We searched PubMed, CNKI and WanFang data, and collected the Chinese and English randomized controlled studies on VSD and conventional dressing in treatment of DF ulcers. The retrieval time was from Jan. 2000 to Jan. 2014. RevMan5.2 software was used to make Meta-analysis. Results Seven papers including 646 cases met the standard and Meta analysis was conducted according to these data. The results showed that compared with conventional dressing, VSD treatment shortened the healing time, increased the complete healing rate, reduced hospital stay, and reduced hospital costs and secondary amputation rates. The difference had statistical significance(P<0.05). Conclusion VSD is superior to conventional dressing method in terms of the healing time, healing rate, hospital stay, hospital costs and amputation rate.
