Models for delivery and co-ordination of primary or secondary health care (or both) to older adults living in aged care facilities
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to usual care, alternative models of care may make little or no difference to the number of emergency department visits but may reduce unplanned hospital admissions. We are uncertain of the effect of alternative care models on adverse events (i.e. falls, pressure ulcers, infections) and adherence to guidelines compared to usual care, as the certainty of the evidence is very low. Alternative models of care may have little or no effect on health-related quality of life and probably have no effect on mortality of ACF residents compared to usual care. Importantly, we are uncertain of the cost-effectivenes...

Platelet-rich plasma therapy for chronic cutaneous wounds stratified by etiology: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials
ConclusionsPRP may improve the healing of venous ulcers; however, there is no strong evidence regarding this positive effect in other wound etiologies. Although autologous PRP therapy is widely used, its effectiveness according to wound etiology is still not clear. The heterogenicity of the protocols to prepare and apply PRP therapy and the different methods for measuring chronic wound outcomes hinder the comparison of studies, thereby limiting the possibility of conducting a more robust analysis.The systematic review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO under number CRD42021251501.
