To clarify the clinical outcomes of an intervention using a donut-shaped cushion for treating pressure ulcers of the auricular region in children and adults with severe physical and mental disabilities.
Safety,Efficacy
WeeFIM: Healing Progression and Evaluation of the DESIGN-R2020 Following the Use of Donut-Shaped Cushions for Auricular Pressure Ulcers in Patients with a WeeFIM Score of 18 (Very Severe and Near-Very Severe Cases).
WeeFIM: Incidence of auricular pressure ulcers in children and adults with a WeeFIM score of 18 (severe) or 17 (moderately severe)
Improvement rate of pressure ulcers with the use of donut-shaped cushions in cases of auricular pressure ulcers
Improvement rate of pressure ulcers in cases treated with methods other than donut-shaped cushions
Incidence of complications associated with the use of donut-shaped cushions

The study population consisted of approximately 200 patients admitted to Hospital A who were classified as extremely severely disabled children or adults, or near-extremely severely disabled children or adults, due to conditions such as cerebral palsy or hypoxic encephalopathy. These patients had severe physical disabilities and severe intellectual disabilities, and required continuous respiratory management, nutritional management, and repositioning. All patients had a WeeFIM score of 18. We will conduct a retrospective study of these patients to analyze the occurrence of pressure ulcers and associated risk factors.

For the 200 children and adults with a WeeFIM score of 18 the Mann Whitney U test will be used for continuous variables eg age weight albumin levels and the chi square test for nominal variables in the intergroup comparison of background factors Patients were classified into a present group and an absent group based on the occurrence of auricular pressure ulcers and logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors contributing to pressure ulcer development The efficacy of each treatment method donut shaped cushion pressure relieving bedding ointment application and wound dressings was evaluated in 23 patients who developed auricular pressure ulcers For the analysis the start date of each treatment method will be used as the baseline with the date of pressure ulcer healing defined as the event occurrence date and the observation period ending on the date of discharge or when the outcome is unknown The Kaplan Meier method will be used to estimate the number of days until healing of the auricular pressure ulcer and survival curves between treatment groups will be compared Furthermore the Cox proportional hazards model will be used to conduct a multivariate analysis of the effect of introducing each treatment method on the time to healing
