IN RESPONSE:
To clarify, we did not exclude studies that evaluated bundled protocols for pressure ulcer prevention. Any controlled clinical trial or cohort study that compared alternative interventions for pressure ulcer prevention—including bundled protocols—was included. In fact, studies of pressure ulcer interventions did not evaluate single-component therapies in isolation but as part of multicomponent prevention strategies. However, details about these strategies were often limited, representing a shortcoming of the available literature. As noted in our review, it is important for future studies of pressure ulcer preventive interventions to better describe the other components of care that were provided.
