Assessment of the efficacy of maggot debridement therapy and intrasite gel in the debridement of chronic, septic, wounds in ten adult patients over a 22-day period

This dataset presents findings from a pilot study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of maggot debridement therapy (MDT) to autolytic debridement using IntrasiteTM Gel in the treatment of chronic, septic wounds in 10 adult patients over a 22 day treatment period. The study included 5 patients receiving IntrasiteTM Gel and 5 patients receiving MDT, with all participants undergoing treatment for 22 days. Data was recorded until the patient reached complete debridement or until the 22 day period ended, whichever came first. The data provided includes the parameters assessed during the study period, which included: the development of healthy granulation tissue, reduction of slough and necrotic tissue, reduction of malodour, wound size measurements, time to achieve debridement, percentage of wound debridement achieved. The above mentioned data was recorded every 2-3 days for each patient, using a modified Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool. Pain scores reported on a 10-point Likert scale, and acceptability of MDT and approximate costs per patient in South African rands (ZAR) over the 22-day treatment period were calculated.

本数据集展示了针对10例成年患者慢性化脓性伤口治疗的研究成果，旨在评估蛆虫清创疗法（MDT）与Intrasite™凝胶自溶清创在治疗慢性化脓性伤口中的有效性。研究分为两组，一组5名患者接受Intrasite™凝胶治疗，另一组5名患者接受MDT治疗，所有患者均接受为期22天的治疗。数据记录直至患者完成清创或治疗周期结束，以先到者为准。提供的数据包括研究期间评估的参数，包括：健康肉芽组织的形成、脱落和坏死组织的减少、恶臭的减轻、伤口大小测量、达到清创的时间以及达到清创的百分比。上述数据每2-3天记录一次，使用改良的Bates Jensen伤口评估工具。疼痛评分采用10点李克特量表，并计算了MDT的接受度和22天治疗期间每位患者的近似成本（南非兰特，ZAR）。
