The (dis)organization of leg ulcer care: A realist synthesis J. Adv. Nurs. (IF 3.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Fania Pagnamenta, Monique Lhussier, Tim Rapley
Venous leg ulcers affect 1.5% of the UK adult population. Leg ulcers are painful, can be malodourous and are associated with poor quality of life. Leg ulcers are predominantly cared for by nurses in the community. Frequently, patients receive suboptimal treatment through unwanted variations in care and simple ulcers deteriorate to become hard-to-heal wounds. It is important to understand the current

Signal complexity (i.e. entropy) describes the level of order within a system. Low physiological signal complexity predicts unfavorable outcome in a variety of diseases and is assumed to reflect increased rigidity of the cardio/cerebrovascular system leading to (or reflecting) autoregulation failure. Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is followed by a cascade of complex systemic and cerebral
