目的：为了确定与历史对照组相比，在社区脊髓损伤患者中，使用含麻黄碱的营养补充剂是否可以显著缩短压疮（PU）愈合时间。方法：18例脊髓损伤患者（全部为医院脊柱外展服务的一部分）每天接受9g商业粉末状精氨酸补充剂，直到PU完全愈合。愈合率进行了比较，对17个历史对照患者（评估的病史审计）。结果：基线特征（年龄，性别，损伤程度和时间）组间相似。平均溃疡愈合时间分别为10.5 ± 1.3周和21 ± 3.7周（p
Objective: To determine whether or not the use of an arginine-containing nutritional supplement could result in significantly shorter pressure ulcer (PU) healing times in people with spinal cord injuries living in the community, compared with a comparative historical control group.Method: Eighteen spinal-cord-injured patients (all part of a hospital spinal outreach service) received 9g of a commercial powdered arginine supplement per day until full PU healing occurred. Healing rates were compared against 17 historical control patients (as assessed by medical history audit).Results: Baseline characteristics (age, gender, injury level and time) were similar between groups. Mean ulcer healing times were 10.5 +/- 1.3 weeks versus 21 +/- 3.7 weeks (p
