Comparison of clinical results between treatment and control groups.
| Parameters | Experimental group (n=23) | Control group (n=23) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time needed untile the wound was ready for surgery (day) | 21±3.5 | 35±5.5 | <0.01 |
| Wound closure speed (cm2/week) | 2.8±0.4 | 1.5±0.2 | <0.01 |
| Number of VSD dressing renewals | 2.5±0.5 | 7.0±0.5 | <0.01 |
| Duration of antibiotic administration (day) | 6.5±2.5 | 14.8±3.1 | <0.01 |
| Length of hospital stay (day) | 28.5±6.5 | 49.6±7.0 | <0.01 |
P-value <0.01, there was significant difference in each parameter between treatment and control groups.
