Mepilex Border Flex Utilization Pilot Spain (MxBFlexUPESP)

May 21, 2024 updated by: Molnlycke Health Care AB

Observational Study to Describe the Utilization of Foam Dressings in Routine Clinical Practice, for the Treatment of Patients With Chronic Wounds in Primary Healthcare Centers in Spain.

The aim of this study is to assess and describe the utilization of Mepilex® Border Flex and other foam dressings available in routine clinical practice in the management of patients with chronic wounds, in order to understand the pattern of use and the frequency of dressing changes in wound management. The study will also allow to gain information about the opinion of the HCPs and the patient's experience concerning wound management with foam dressings. This information may help to understand patient's health care optimization in terms of quality and efficiency.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This study is addressed to adult patients with chronic wounds- wounds that have not reduced in size by more than 40% to 50% or healed within a month, and who are already being treated with a foam dressing. The patient must be deemed by HPC to be treated with Mepilex® Border Flex according to the indications of the dressing.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged 18 years or older.
  • The patient has been deemed by the HCP to change dressing to Mepilex® Border Flex.
  • Patients with chronic wounds (wounds that have not reduced in size by more than 40% to 50% or healed within a month) treated with foam dressings, other that Mepilex® Border Flex, according to its intended use at baseline visit for minimum 4 weeks.
  • Patients with an expectation of wound follow-up of at least 4 weeks.
  • Patients agree only to have the dressing changed by the HCP.
  • Patients capable of signing the Informed Consent Form and answer the questions being asked.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with any applicable contraindication or sensibilization to any of the dressing compounds
  • Patients with pressure ulcers (PU) stage I, deep tissue injuries or terminal wounds (e.g., fungating wounds)
  • Patients with wounds whose location and/or aetiology requires a dressing change for reasons that are unrelated to the dressing characteristics such as wounds in the sacral area.
  • Hospice patients
  • Patients participating in other studies interfering with this study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Dressing use
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Number of dressings used the week before baseline visit compared to the number of dressings used the week before follow-up visit.
4 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Wound characteristics
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Describe clinical characteristics of chronic wounds that are treated with foam dressings in routine clinical practice by HCP assessment
4 weeks
Wound management
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Describe the management of chronic wounds in terms of frequency of dressing change, type of dressings used and reason for dressing change
4 weeks
Costs
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Estimate the weekly cost per patient associated with the dressings used in wound care episodes and the characteristics of use by evaluating type and size of wound and frequency of dressing change
4 weeks
Technical Performance (HCP evaluation)
Time Frame: 4 weeks

Several questions will be asked to evaluate the technical performance properties of the primary dressing. The following will be assessed by the investigator/designee using no/yes values:

1) Based on this patient, would you recommend Mepilex Border Flex for use in your organisation?

All other properties will be assessed by the investigator/designee using a 3-item scale of worse, same, better. These include:

  • Ease of application
  • Ease of removal
  • Ability to conform to wound site
  • Ability to indicate the need for dressing change
  • Ability to stay in place
  • Trauma to the wound bed
  • Ability to indicate the need for dressing change
  • Trauma to the wound bed
  • Trauma to the peri-wound skin
  • Patient concordance
  • Overall dressing performance
4 weeks
Patient Experience (PRO)
Time Frame: 4 weeks

Patients are asked to rate the dressings in regards their experience

The following questions will be assessed by the investigator/designee using a 1-10 level visual analogue scale for pain:

  • How wound you rate the pain in your wound today?
  • How would you rate the pain when Mepilex Border Flex was removed from your wound today?

The following will be assessed by the investigator/designee using no/yes values:

*Would you recommend this treatment to a relative or friend?

All other properties will be assessed by the investigator/designee using a 4-item scale of very poor, poor, good, very good. These include:

  • How would you rate the comfort of Mepilex Border Flex applied to your wound?
  • How would you rate Mepilex Border Flex used in regards to the ability to stay in place?
  • How would you rate your overall satisfaction regarding wound management (including the properties of Mepilex Border Flex and treatment of your wound)
