Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injuries (MARSIs) represent a category of skin injuries related to the use of adhesive medical devices. They constitute a health care issue that negatively impacts the patient's quality of life, leads to increased care and hospitalization timelines resulting in increased use of health care resources and management costs. Despite the burden they place on the patient and the entire health care system, MARSIs are still poorly recognized and underestimated. In this regard, the study proposes to investigate the prevalence of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury in the oncology patient carrying long-term vascular access. The total prevalence of MARSI at the site of vascular catheter insertion was 35%, contact dermatitis appears to be the predominant class of injury (17%).
Le Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury (MARSI) rappresentano una categoria di lesioni cutanee correlate all'utilizzo di dispositivi medici adesivi. Esse costituiscono una problematica sanitaria che impatta negativamente la qualità di vita del paziente, determinano un incremento delle tempistiche di assistenza e degenza con conseguente aumento dell’impiego di risorse sanitarie e dei costi di gestione. Nonostante l’onere che rappresentano per il paziente e l’intero sistema sanitario, le MARSI sono ancora scarsamente riconosciute e sottostimate. A tal proposito lo studio propone di indagare la prevalenza delle Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury nel paziente oncologico portatore di accesso vascolare a lungo termine. La prevalenza totale di MARSI nel sito di inserimento del catetere vascolare è stata pari al 35%, la dermatite da contatto risulta essere la classe di lesione prevalente (17%).

Abstract
Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injuries (MARSIs) represent a category of skin injuries related to the use of adhesive medical devices. They constitute a health care issue that negatively impacts the patient's quality of life, leads to increased care and hospitalization timelines resulting in increased use of health care resources and management costs. Despite the burden they place on the patient and the entire health care system, MARSIs are still poorly recognized and underestimated. In this regard, the study proposes to investigate the prevalence of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury in the oncology patient carrying long-term vascular access. The total prevalence of MARSI at the site of vascular catheter insertion was 35%, contact dermatitis appears to be the predominant class of injury (17%).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
