Preventive effect of cluster nursing on pressure ulcers in orthopedic patients and predictive value of serum IL-6 and TNF-α for the occurrence of pressure ulcers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the effect of cluster nursing on pressure ulcer prevention and comfort of orthopedic patients.
methodsA total of 124 orthopedic inpatients admitted to the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 66 cases received cluster nursing who were assigned into the observation group and the other 58 cases received routine nursing and were assigned into the control group. The incidence of pressure ulcers, the degree of pressure the ulcer, quality of life-brief (QOL-BREF), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores of the two groups at 7 days after surgery were compared, and the comfort score and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were evaluated and compared. The expression and predictive value of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with pressure ulcers before operation were analyzed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were compared between the two groups before and after nursing.
resultsAfter nursing, the observation group had significantly lower IL-6, TNF-α, SAS score, and SDS scores than the control group, and showed significantly higher QOL-BREF score, nursing satisfaction and comfort scores than the control group. In addition, the observation group showed a significantly lower incidence of pressure ulcers and a significantly lower severity level than the control group after nursing. Patients with pressure ulcers showed significantly higher serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels before surgery, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that IL-6 and TNF-α had certain value in forecasting the occurrence of pressure ulcers.
conclusionCluster nursing can substantially lower the incidence of pressure ulcers in hospitalized orthopedic patients and improve their comfort.
