Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Registry

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Stasis Ulcer, Pressure Ulcer, Surgical Wound Dehiscence, Burns, Other Types of Chronic Non Healing Wounds

In brief

The goal of the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Registry (NPWTR) for Wounds is to provide real world patient data from electronic health records submitted to meet Stage 2 Meaningful Use in order to understand the effectiveness and safety of various NPWT devices and methods among patients with chronic wounds and ulcers. Randomized, controlled trials to establish product efficacy routinely exclude patients with the co-morbid conditions common to patients seen in usual clinical practice and thus the results of these Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) tend to be non-generalizable. Little is known about the effectiveness of NPWT among typical patients. Patient registries are also ideal for assessing long term safety issues in these devices.
