Computer-Aided Ankle Ligament Injury Diagnosis from Magnetic Resonance Images Using Machine Learning Techniques.

Ankle injuries caused by the Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL) are the most common type of injury. Thus, finding new ways to analyze these injuries through novel technologies is critical for assisting medical diagnosis and, as a result, reducing the subjectivity of this process. As a result, the purpose of this study is to compare the ability of specialists to diagnose lateral tibial tuberosity advancement (LTTA) injury using computer vision analysis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The experiments were carried out on a database obtained from the Vue PACS-Carestream software, which contained 132 images of ATFL and normal (healthy) ankles. Because there were only a few images, image augmentation techniques was used to increase the number of images in the database. Following that, various feature extraction algorithms (GLCM, LBP, and HU invariant moments) and classifiers such as Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), and Random Forest (RF) were used. Based on the results from this analysis, for cases that lack clear morphologies, the method delivers a hit rate of 85.03% with an increase of 22% over the human expert-based analysis.

Cricket injury in New Zealand: a study of injury insurance claims from 2008 to 2018

This study aimed to quantify injury claims in organised community cricket in New Zealand over a 10-year period, 1 July, 2008 to June 30, 2018. Retrospective analysis of administrative insurance claims data from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), New Zealand. Injury claims relating to cricket in males and females in New Zealand were identified from coded data and relevant text searches of routinely collected claims data. Summary statistics for key variables (age, body part, injury type, and injury factors) are presented together with annual injury claim incidence rates (ICR) calculated using population-based denominators. There were 62,776 claims for cricket injury occurring at a place of recreation/sports. Most claims were in males (91.4%) and those aged 15-19 year old age group. There was an increase in the total number of injury claims over the 10-year period (1.5%, p = 0.04), but the ICR was consistent (males: varying between 258.8-304.8, and females: 22.6-28.3 claims annually per 100,000 population). Soft tissue injury claims were the most common injury type. Lumbosacral claims were most common for bowlers (78%). Lower limb injury claims were the predominant claim from batting (36%) and fielding (42%), with knee injury claims (34%) being the most common lower-limb injury location. Lumbosacral, shoulder and knee injuries were common amongst all playing positions and worthy of preventative attention. Strategies targeting prevention of these injuries may reduce the ICR within the ACC.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis of a rat model of bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) causes massive tissue damage. Renal IRI is the most common type of acute renal injury, and the defects caused by it may progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Rodent models of renal IRI, with various patterns, have been used to study the treatment of human kidney injury. A rat model of bilateral IRI, in which the bilateral kidney blood vessels are clamped for 60 min, is widely used, inducing both acute and chronic kidney disease. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of bilateral IRI on kidney cells have not yet been fully elucidated. This study aimed to perform a whole-transcriptome analysis of the IRI kidney using single-cell RNA sequencing. We found renal parenchymal cells, including those from the proximal tubule, the loop of Henle, and distal tubules, to be damaged by IRI. In addition, we observed significant changes in macrophage population. Our study delineated the detailed cellular and molecular changes that occur in the rat model of bilateral IRI. Collectively, our data and analyses provided a foundation for understanding IRI-related kidney diseases in rat models.

Establishment and evaluation of nomogram for predicting intraventricular hemorrhage in neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome

BackgroundIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is the most common type of brain injury in newborns, especially in newborns with Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). IVH can cause brain parenchyma damage and long-term neurological sequelae in children. Early identification and prevention of sequelae are essential. This study aims to establish a predictive nomogram for the early prediction of IVH in newborns with ARDS.MethodsFrom 2019 to 2021, we collected data from 222 infants diagnosed with ARDS in the Department of Neonatology, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Infants have been randomly assigned to the training set (n = 161) or the validation set (n = 61) at a ratio of 7:3. Variables were screened using the Least Absolute Contract and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression to create a risk model for IVH in infants with ARDS. The variables chosen in the LASSO regression model were used to establish the prediction model using multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsWe recognized 4 variables as independent risk factors for IVH in newborns with ARDS via LASSO analysis, consisting of premature rupture of membranes (PROM), pulmonary surfactant (PS) dosage, PH1 and Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO21). The C-Index for this dataset is 0.868 (95% CI: 0.837–0.940) and the C index in bootstrap verification is 0.852 respectively. The analysis of the decision curve shows that the model can significantly improve clinical efficiency in predicting IVH. We also provide a website based on the model and open it to users for free, so that the model can be better applied to clinical practice.ConclusionIn conclusion, the nomogram based on 4 factors shows good identification, calibration and clinical practicability. Our nomographs can help clinicians make clinical decisions, screen high-risk ARDS newborns, and facilitate early identification and management of IVH patients.

2021/22 Rugby Europe Injury Surveillance Report: SuperCup, Under-20, and Under-18 Championship.

We conducted a prospective cohort study to determine the incidence rate and characterization of the injuries sustained by players during the 2021/22 season of the Rugby Europe SuperCup, Under-20, and Under-18 championships. Team medics reported the injuries, using an online platform. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. The overall incidence of injuries ranged from 33.33 (95% CI: 18.97-54.60) in the under-18s to 83.33 (95% CI: 60.34-112.40) in the under-20s, while in the SuperCup it was 41.35 (95% CI: 30.30-55.18) injuries per 1000 player-match-hours. Injury severity (mean days) was higher in the SuperCup (38.33) and lower in the Under-18 tournament (28.50). Lower limb and soft tissue were the most common type of injuries. Tackles caused almost two-thirds of all injuries. Concussion accounted for 10.0% to 25.6% of all injuries. Our data are consistent with previous reports for similar levels of competition and age grades. The injury incidence was higher in the senior competitions (Under-20s and SuperCup). However, for the under-20s, injury rates were higher than in the SuperCup. This might be related to the competition format; however, more studies need to be conducted in the future. Concussion is a common injury and the protocols used at this level seems to be effective to identify it.

Surgical Fixation with Cannulated Screws in the Adult Femoral Neck Fractures

Aim: Femoral neck fractures are common injuries in orthopedic practice and result in significant morbidity and mortality. They are fractures in the intra-capsule area of the proximal femur. They usually occur in the elderly patient group. However, younger age groups could also experience femoral neck fractures as a result of high-energy traumas. The aim of the present study was to compare with the literature the outcomes in adult patients for whom surgical fixation was performed after femoral neck fracture using cannulated screws in our clinic.Materials and Methods: The study included patients for whom surgical fixation was performed for femoral neck fractures using cannulated screws between August 2010 and August 2012. Fracture non-union, delayed union, avascular necrosis and arthrosis were evaluated in patients. Avascular necrosis evaluation was performed using Ficat and Arlet classification. Functional outcomes were evaluated using Harris hip score.Results: The average follow-up period of our patients was 32 months (range: 24-48 months). Follow-ups indicated that 16 patients recovered without problems, walked with a double wand starting from about the third month with respect to the bone union status and full union was achieved in an average of six months. Non-union was observed in four patients. Ficat and Arlet avascular necrosis classification showed that four patients had avascular necrosis. The average time for these patients to be admitted to surgery was seven days. Five of our patients developed superficial wound infections. Antibiotic treatment and wound care were applied to our patients. When the patients were evaluated based on Harris hip score numerical rating chart, it was found that excellent outcomes were obtained in five patients, very good results in eight patients, good results in four patients, moderate results in two patients and poor results in one patient.Conclusion: Femoral neck fractures are a common type of injury in orthopedic practice and they result in significant morbidity and mortality when treated inappropriately. In order to reduce the rate of bone non-union, avascular necrosis or other complications that could be observed in patients who underwent surgical fixation after femoral neck fractures, and appropriate and acceptable reduction of femoral neck fracture should be realized as soon as possible, and stable fixation should be achieved.

Descriptive Epidemiology of Injuries Sustained in National Collegiate Athletic Association Men's and Women's Lacrosse, 2004-2005 Through 2013-2014 Seasons.

Background: Men's and women's lacrosse operate with significantly different rules, equipment, and contact. Previous studies have assessed injury rates (IRs) in either men's or women's lacrosse, but a few studies have compared injury patterns in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's and women's lacrosse. Purpose: We sought to examine whether there were differences in injury type, mechanism, setting, and time loss in men and women playing lacrosse in the NCAA. Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study using data collected by the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program (ISP) during a 10-season period (2004-2005 to 2013-2014). The data were assessed for potential differences in injuries between male and female lacrosse players and analyzed to obtain descriptive statistics through calculations of rates, percentages, and confidence intervals (CIs). Main outcomes measured were IRs per 1000 athletic exposures (AEs) and injury rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% CIs. Results: The IRs were 5.19 per 1000 AEs in women's lacrosse and 6.52 per 1000 AEs in men's lacrosse. Men had more injuries overall than women in competitions and practices and in preseason, regular season, and postseason play. Preseason IRs were higher than the regular season, and competition injuries were greater than practice injuries in both sexes. Women had more injuries to the head/face, knee, lower leg, and foot. Sprains, strains, concussions, and contusions were the most common types of injuries in both sexes. Overuse/gradual onset, cartilage, concussion, inflammation, and tendinosis injuries were more common in women than men. Injuries in men resulted in time loss more often than injuries in women. Conclusions: Our retrospective study's findings suggest that there were differences in injury patterns between men's and women's lacrosse. Future prospective research should assess whether these disparities are due to differences in equipment and rules and whether changes to these factors can reduce injuries.

It Takes Two to Tango: High Rates of Injury and Concussion in Ball Carriers and Tacklers in High School Boys' Rugby.

To examine injury and concussion rates, mechanisms, locations, and types of injury in Canadian high school male rugby. Prospective cohort study. High school male rugby. A total of 429 high school players (2018: n = 225, 2019: n = 256) were recruited from 12 teams in 7 schools in Calgary, Canada. None. Injury surveillance included baseline questionnaires, weekly exposure, and injury reports. Injuries included those requiring medical attention, resulted in time loss and/or inability to complete a session. Concussion was defined as per the fifth Consensus on Concussion in Sport, and all players with a suspected concussion were referred to a study sport medicine physician. A total of 134 injuries were captured, leading to an injury incidence rate (IR) of 57.9/1000 hours [95% confidence intervals (CIs): 45.4-73.8]. Median time loss was 6 days (range: 0-90). Injuries to the head were the most common (40%), followed by shoulder (12%) and ankle (10%). The concussion IR was 22.0/1000 hours (95% CIs: 15.9-30.4), which was the most common injury type (38%), followed by sprain (20%) and strain (15%). Sixty-five percent of injuries occurred in the tackle (ball carrier 35%, tackler 30%) and 76% of concussions (ball carrier 41%, tackler 35%). The rate of injury and concussion in Canadian youth high school male rugby is high, with tackle-related injuries and concussions the most common. Given this, there is a critical need for implementation of prevention strategies, in particular targeting concussion and the tackle event (eg, neuromuscular, tackle training, and law changes).

Contact injuries in field hockey and the potential role for personal protective equipment

ABSTRACT Field hockey is played with sticks and a hard ball. It is fast-paced, with athletes playing together in close proximity. Athletes may be at increased risk of sustaining injuries through contact. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of contact injuries in field hockey. Data were collected during the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 Irish Hockey League seasons. This study included two methods of data collection among male athletes: self-reported injuries and via those reported by the teams’ physiotherapists. Injuries were defined as any physical complaint sustained during field hockey, supplemented by medical attention and time-loss injuries. Only contact injuries were included for analysis. Overall, 107 contact injuries were incurred, giving rise to an injury incidence rate of 3.1/1000 h, and accounting for 33.1% of all injuries. Athletes had an absolute risk of 0.372 of sustaining a contact injury. Contusions (48.6%) were the most common type of contact injury, while injuries to the head/face (20.6%) were the most frequently reported location. Contact injuries represent an important proportion of all injuries. Rule changes to mandate the use of personal protective equipment in field hockey may assist in reducing the absolute risk and severity of contact injuries in field hockey.

Functional performance and psychological readiness after 1–10 years ACL reconstruction: A comparison between dominant and nondominant legs

Background & Aims: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are among the most common types of injuries that occur during sport activities. Some studies reported that the dominance leg is significant predictor for ACL injuries. However, it is unclear whether the dominant or non-dominant leg impacts functional status and psychological readiness to return to sport after ACL. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are difference in functional performance and psychological readiness to return to sport between individuals who injured their dominant leg and non-dominant leg after 1-10 years following ACL reconstruction. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 50 participants between 20 and 38 years was conducted, to investigate individuals who injured their dominant leg (n=25) and non-dominant leg (n=25) after 1-10 years following ACL reconstruction. All participants complete Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) questionnaires and Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire physical activity (FABQ-PA). Results: No significant difference was found between the dominant leg and non-dominant leg groups in ACL-RSI, LEFS and FABQ-PA (U = 256, p = 0.27; U = 314.5, p = 0.96, and U=279.5 p=0.52) respectively. Conclusions: While it is essential to investigate the functional performance and patient's psychological state, dominance vs non- dominance leg does not influence these outcomes 1-10 years following ACL reconstruction. Therefore, injuries either dominance or non-dominance leg demonstrate equal long-term improvement. To enhance rehabilitation and optimize long-term functional outcomes for individual undergoing ACL reconstruction, future research should investigate other factors that impact recovery and return-to-sport outcomes.

Assessing the Prevalence of Traumatic Dental Injuries and its Impact on Self-esteem among Schoolchildren in a Village in Gurugram

Background: Pitiful smile and oral health have always been bounded up to poor social relationships and permanent impairment that causes harm to the ability to learn and grow which may lead toward decreased self-esteem. Aim: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) and its impact on self-esteem among schoolchildren in a village of Gurugram. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted among 10–17-year-old schoolchildren to assess the prevalence and impact of TDIs. Convenience sampling was used and 240 schoolchildren constituted the sample size. TDIs were recorded using Ellis classification, and self-esteem was recorded using Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale. For statistical analysis, Chi-square test and t-test were used. The odds ratio was utilized to assess and compare the self-esteem according to high and low esteem among individuals with or without dental trauma. Results: Results of the present study showed that out of total 240 children, 54.2% were males and 45.8% were females. The overall prevalence of trauma was found to be 28.3%. Ellis class I was the most common type of injury in schoolchildren (70%). The most frequently traumatized teeth were maxillary incisors, among which maxillary central incisor was the most affected (60.4%). The difference between low and high self-esteem among individuals with or without dental trauma low esteem, high esteem was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: By improving oral health in schools may contribute considerably to the self-esteem of individuals in positive direction and help them in becoming a socially competent adult.

Rational Design of Bioactive Materials for Bone Hemostasis and Defect Repair.

Everyday unnatural events such as trauma, accidents, military conflict, disasters, and even medical malpractice create open wounds and massive blood loss, which can be life-threatening. Fractures and large bone defects are among the most common types of injuries. Traditional treatment methods usually involve rapid hemostasis and wound closure, which are convenient and fast but may result in various complications such as nerve injury, deep infection, vascular injury, and deep hematomas. To address these complications, various studies have been conducted on new materials that can be degraded in the body and reduce inflammation and abscesses in the surgical area. This review presents the latest research progress in biomaterials for bone hemostasis and repair. The mechanisms of bone hemostasis and bone healing are first introduced and then principles for rational design of biomaterials are summarized. After providing representative examples of hemostatic biomaterials for bone repair, future challenges and opportunities in the field are proposed.

Characterization of Physical Assault Related Injuries in a Tertiary Care Center In North India

Introduction: Physical violence and aggression has been extensively studied in relation to different forms ofaggression, gender differences, its effects, risk factors etc. Violence not only results in physical problems butit also has economic and psychological impact on the victim. Cases of physical violence are usually brought toemergency and vary from minor injuries to fatal outcome.Methods: This research aims to understand patterns of physical assault and identify ways to prevent and reducethe incidence. The two year retrospective study was carried out between 1st June 2020 to 31th June 2022 from thein the causality data of tertiary care center in Punjab.Results: Of the total, 76.5% of the cases were male. 35.2% cases fall in age group of 21 to 30 years. Most commonlyencountered injury sites were head-face-neck region in 39.6% of the cases. 60.89% cases were seen in rural area.Use of blunt weapon was seen in 64.80% of cases. Bruise was most common type of injury seen in 38.42% cases

Olecranon Fractures: A Critical Analysis Review.

Olecranon fractures account for 10% of all elbow fractures and are more likely to result from a low-energy injury. A displaced fracture with a stable ulnohumeral joint (Mayo type 2) is the most common type of injury. The management of an isolated olecranon fracture is based on patient factors (age, functional demand, and if medically fit to undergo surgery) and fracture characteristics including displacement, fragmentation, and elbow stability. Nonoperative management can be successfully used in undisplaced fractures (Mayo type 1) and in displaced fractures (Mayo type 2) in frail patients with lower functional demands. Patients with displaced olecranon fractures with a stable ulnohumeral joint without significant articular surface fragmentation (Mayo type 2A) can be managed with tension band wiring, plate osteosynthesis (PO), intramedullary fixation, or suture repair. PO is advocated for multifragmentary fractures and fractures that are associated with ulnohumeral instability. It is essential to consider the variable anatomy of the proximal ulna during surgery.

Epidemiology of Hand and Wrist Injuries in Outdoor Recreational Activities

Introduction: With participation in outdoor and remote activities rising, it is essential for wilderness medicine clinicians to be aware of the hand, wrist, and forearm injuries that commonly occur. From mountain biking to rock climbing to dog walking, hand and wrist injuries are ubiquitous, and knowledge of them can improve preparedness. Methods: This was a retrospective study that evaluated hand, wrist, and forearm injuries, sustained during recreational outdoor activities, that then presented to orthopaedics. Data were recorded over the course of 1 calendar year for activity, body part, injury type, sex, age, and the need for surgery. This was then analyzed to highlight trends. Results: Of 436 hand, wrist, and forearm injuries, the wrist was the most frequently injured upper extremity body part with 253 injuries. The most common type of injury was fracture with 336, and of these fractures, 170 were of the distal radius. Biking, skateboarding, and dog walking were the most common causes of injury, and the most frequently injured patients were young men and older women. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of clinician preparation for evaluation and management of hand, wrist, and forearm injuries, including distal radius fractures. It also highlights the importance of recognizing patients at risk for osteoporosis. Having knowledge of the leading injuries, most common mechanisms, and most at-risk patients helps with clinician training, provider and kit preparedness, and participant education.

Ground level falls: computed tomography findings and clinical outcomes by age groups.

This study aimed to determine injury patterns in ground level falls (GLFs) and investigate the effect of age on the severity of injury. We retrospectively identified 4,712 patients who presented to a Level 1 trauma center due to GLFs and analyzed the data of 1,214 patients who underwent computed tomography (CT). Demographics, torso examination findings, and injuries detected on CT were recorded. To investigate the effect of age on injury severity, the patients were grouped as those aged <65 and ≥65 years. The mean age was 57 years, and 55.20% of the patients were female. The mortality rate was 0.50%. Injury was detected in 489 (40.30%) patients on CT. Fractures were the most common injury type. Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage was detected in 32 (2.60%) patients. Only three (0.20%) of the 63 patients with rib fractures had concomitant lung injury. The negative predictive value of the physical examination (PE) was 95.80% for chest injury. Intra-abdominal injury was not detected in any of the 116 patients who underwent abdominal CT. Hospitalization was also higher in the ≥65-year group (p<0.001). All mortalities (n=6) were seen in patients aged ≥65 years. Our results indicate that GLFs cause more injuries in the elderly, resulting in more hospitalizations and mortality. Normal PE findings may reduce the need for whole-body CT in GLF patients who are conscious, cooperative, and oriented.

LESÕES ESPORTIVAS CAUSADAS PELA PRÁTICA DE KUNG FU NOS ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

ABSTRACT Introduction: Kungfu is a traditional Chinese sports activity, and many optional courses are offered in many universities. However, during kung fu practice, sports injuries can be caused. Objective: Investigate the most common types of sports injuries caused by kung fu practice and present intervention countermeasures. Methods: A total of 612 college students practicing kung fu at 5 universities were investigated, and a 12-week follow-up survey was conducted to collect data on the types, causes, and injury grades of their sports injuries. According to the survey results, reasonable prevention and intervention measures were formulated to ensure the safety of kung fu practice. Results: The sports injuries caused by kung fu practice mainly occurred at the waist, knees, and ankles, and the types of sports injuries were mainly by ligament strain, which was mainly caused by improper preparation, poor physical functioning, and mental state, incorrect technical movements, etc. Conclusion: Kung fu practice can improve the physical health of college students, but it can also lead to sports injuries, especially to the pelvic girdle, knees, and ankles. Strict preventive measures should be taken to prevent sports injuries from affecting the physical health of college students. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

PREVENÇÃO, INTERVENÇÃO E GERENCIAMENTO DO TREINAMENTO FÍSICO NA REABILITAÇÃO DE LESÕES NOS MEMBROS INFERIORES

ABSTRACT Introduction Lower limb injuries are one of the main sports occurrences among athletes. Severe lower limb injuries will lead to the definitive end of the athlete’s professional career. Objective Explore the mechanisms of prevention and intervention against lower limb injuries in physical training and the rehabilitation management strategies for lower limb injuries. Methods In this study, 20 athletes were selected. Comparing the results of the lower limb FMS test and balance y test before and after rehabilitation training management, the effect of rehabilitation management on recovery from lower limb injuries in physical training was discussed. Results Lower limb injury is a common type of sports injury in physical training; however, better recovery utilization can be achieved through successful rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation training management can effectively improve the FMS test score of athletes’ lower limbs and the number of people who passed the Y balance test. However, the existing rehabilitation training program still has some limitations, which need to be corrected according to the individual conditions of athletes. Conclusion Through physical training and medical rehabilitation, athletes with lower limb injuries can recover their lower limb sports ability and prolong their sporting life. Therefore, it should be disseminated. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Uncommon traumatic lip injury

Trauma to the lips is the most common type of facial injury. The prominence of the lips and the close correlation with the teeth, make it a vulnerable aesthetic unit. We here report the case of a 20-year-old student presenting two hours after maxillofacial trauma following a traffic accident involving a head-on collision between two motorcyclists. The student had fallen on the handlebars of his motorbike injuring his upper lip. Maxillofacial examination showed involvement of the nasogenial sulcus with elevation of the right nasal wing, a notch in the right upper hemi-lip, well colored, and whose endo-buccal extension was embedded in the vestibule, giving an appearance of "right unilateral cleft lip". Radiological evaluation showed air-fluid levels with solution of continuity of the medial wall of the right maxillary sinus. The diagnosis of traumatic incarceration of the right upper hemi-lip with not displaced fracture of the right maxilla was retained. This can cause unilateral or incomplete right upper cleft lip, or a wound with loss of substance involving the right upper hemi-lip. It is a very uncommon lesion of the upper lip requiring urgent repair, given the risk of ischemia and labial necrosis. The patient was operated under locoregional anesthesia. The right upper hemi-lip was embedded with incarceration due to non-displaced fracture at the level of the nasal notch. Disincarceration was performed, resulting in minimal labial loss with a vestibular detachment, repaired by direct suture. Patient's outcome was good.

ECASH Concept-Based Care for Patients With Small-Area Burns: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Background. Small-area burn is a common but specific type of injury that can still lead to serious complications if not managed properly. Researchers have introduced a number of interventions. Objective. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of eCASH concept-based care (ie, eBCare) with those of standard treatment on wound healing in patients with small-area burns. Methods. In this prospective randomized controlled trial, patients with small-area burns received either eBCare (n = 35) or standard burn treatment (n = 35) for 2 weeks. Pain, anxiety, heart rate, exudate, and wound area were measured during and after dressing changes. Scar color and thickness were assessed 4 years or longer after discharge. Results. The eBCare group had a lower median pain score, anxiety score, and heart rate compared with the control group (P &lt; .001). The eBCare group also had a higher median wound healing rate on day 14 than the control group (P &lt; .05). At follow-up 4 years or more after discharge, the eBCare group had better scar color and thickness than the control group (P &lt; .05). Conclusion. The use of eBCare reduced pain and anxiety, accelerated wound healing, and improved scar outcomes in patients with small-area burns, which suggests that eBCare may be a feasible option for this population.
