Outcomes for Pressure Ulcer Trials (OUTPUT)

Systematic reviews in the field of pressure ulcer prevention and treatment have identified that there is no distinction made between phase 2 and phase 3 trial design and inconsistent use of outcome measures.

We plan to undertake statistical modelling/consensus methods to agree core outcomes for early and late phase trials for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
