    Abstract
  •   Objective  To investigate the factors that influence the formation of tension blisters on the skin at the dressing edges in patients undergoing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).  Methods  This study was a retrospective case-control study. From September 2020 to August 2023, 187 patients undergoing NPWT who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of Fuyang People's Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University, including 112 males and 75 females, aged (52±17) years. Based on the presence or absence of tension blisters on the skin at the edge of NPWT filling dressings (hereinafter referred to as dressings) after 3 days of NPWT, the patients were divided into no blister group (97 cases) and blister group (90 cases). The clinical characteristics (gender, age, systolic blood pressure on admission, diastolic blood pressure on admission, body mass index, wound area, duration of wound debridement, wound infection status, concomitant fractures, wound irrigation, dressing application site, and dressing management method) as well as biochemical indicators on day 1 after admission were compared between the two groups. The independent influencing factors for tension blister formation at the dressing edges in 187 patients after 3 days of NPWT were screened.  Results  There were statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in terms of age, dressing application site, and dressing management method (t=2.057, with χ2 values of 5.589 and 27.686, respectively, P<0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in the other clinical characteristics or biochemical indicators on day 1 after admission (P>0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis results showed that age, dressings treated with petrolatum jelly gauze and dressing trimming were protective factors against the formation of tension blisters on the skin at the dressing edges in patients after 3 days of NPWT (with ORs of 0.983, 0.130, and 0.381, respectively, 95% CIs of 0.966-0.999, 0.058-0.287, and 0.178-0.816, respectively, P<0.05); trunk was the risk factor facilitating the formation of tension blisters on the skin at the dressing edges in patients after 3 days of NPWT (OR=2.028, with 95% CI of 1.125-3.655, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that trunk was the independent risk factor facilitating the formation of tension blisters on the skin at the dressing edges in patients after 3 days of NPWT (OR=2.566, with 95% CI of 1.306-5.043, P<0.05); dressings treated with petrolatum jelly gauze and dressing trimming were independent protective factors against the formation of tension blisters on the skin at the dressing edges in patients after 3 days of NPWT (with ORs of 0.111 and 0.363, respectively, 95% CIs of 0.048-0.257 and 0.165-0.797, respectively, P<0.05).  Conclusions  For patients who developed tension blisters on the skin at the dressing edges after 3 days of NPWT, the trunk is identified as the independent risk factor, whereas dressings treated with petrolatum jelly gauze, and dressing trimming are the independent protective factors.
