Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: Treatment of venous ulcers is highly demanding for both patients and doctors. Compression therapy is the mainstay treatment for venous ulcers. XelmaTM, an extracellular matrix protein (ECM), is a recent treatment alternative for hard to heal ulcers. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of XelmaTM which is applied as an adjuvant therapy to compression theray, Material and Methods: Totally 45 patients with hard to heal venous ulcer from three different centers were enrolled to study. Patients treated with standard wound care+four-layer band-age+ XelmaTM application. Ulcer areas were calculated planimetrically. Other complaints, pain levels (general and during change of dressings) determined with visual analog scale (VAS) were recorded. Follow-up visits were performed weekly period. Ulcer areas were also recorded during each visit. Wound healing durations were recorded. Results: All treated ulcers were completely healed. Mean wound healing time in our study population was 5.1+2.4 weeks. Significant improvements in other complaints and pain levels of the patients were observed. Mean pain levels at the beginning were 5.8+2.3 (general) ve 6.4+1.9 (during change of dressings). These improvements were prominent after the second week. Conclusion: Obtaining rapid results in the healing of chronic venous ulcers that has also social part is very important for both patients and the doctors. Therefore extracellular matrix proteins should take its place in the treatment of venous ulcers with determined hard to heal diagnosis.

Özet

ÖZET Amaç: Venöz ülser tedavisi hasta ve doktor için oldukça zahmetli bir tedavidir. Kompresyon tedavisi venöz ülser tedavisinin temel taşlarından biridir. Ekstraselüler matriks proteini (ECM) olan amelogenin (Xelma™) son zamanlarda iyileşmesi zor ülserlerin tedavisinde kullanıma girmiş bir tedavi alternatifidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı venöz ülser tedavisinde kompresyon tedavisine ek olarak uygulanan XelmaTM'nm etkinliğinin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Üç merkezin katılımı ile prospektif olarak yapılan çalışmada toplam 45 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalara standart yara bakımı+dört katlı bandaj+XelmaTM tedavisi uygulandı. Ülser alanları planimetrik olarak hesaplandı. Hastaların diğer şikâyetleri ve vizüel analog skala (VAS) skorlamasma göre belirlenen ağrı düzeyleri (genel ve pansuman değiştirme sırasındaki) kaydedildi. Takipler haftalık periyotlarla yapıldı. Takip döneminde ülser alanları hesaplandı. Yara iyileşme süreleri kayıt edildi. Bulgular: Tedavi uygulanan tüm hastalarda venöz ülserler tamamen iyileşti. Hasta popülasyonumuzdaki ortalama yara kapanma süresi 5.1 ±2.4 haftaydı. Hastaların diğer şikâyetlerinde ve ağrı düzeylerinde de belirgin iyileşmeler gözlendi. Başlangıçta 5.8±2.3 (genel ağn) ve 6.4±1.9 (pansuman değişimi sırasındaki) olan ağrı düzeyi çalışma sonunda tamamen kayboldu. Bu iyileşmeler özellikle ikinci haftadan sonra belirginlik kazanıyordu. Sonuç: Sosyal boyutu da olan kronik venöz ülserlerin iyileşmesinde hızlı sonuçlar elde edilmesi hasta ve doktor için çok önemlidir. Bu nedenle zor iyileşen yara tanımlaması almış venöz ülserlerin tedavisinde ekstraselüler matriks proteinleri tedavi alternatifleri arasında yer almalıdır.
