Abstract

The prevalence of pressure ulcers in hospitals in France is given, and the anatomical location of these ulcers is explored. The importance of establishing accurate stages for these wounds is also emphasized. Four methods of cost-effectiveness analysis are proposed and described: analysis of one case; analysis of one ward; analysis of care time; and analysis of one tetraplegic young man.
