It was a single-center prospective cohort study on patients, with less than 40% TBSA burn, undergoing skin grafting at 2 different sites simultaneously over the burn wounds. One site underwent conventional dressing following grafting, and the other underwent vacuum dressing. The primary objective was to compare the percentages of skin graft uptake on Day 5 and Day 14. The secondary objectives were to compare the duration of dressings, time for complete epithelization, need for regrafting, and wound swab culture positivity rates. Three independent examiners assessed the efficacy of dressings in terms of epithelization percentage, need for continued dressing, graft loss, wound swab culture positivity rate, and qualitative assessment of grafts. A total of 16 patients were included in the study. The graft loss, number of days of dressings, and complete epithelization time were statistically lower in the negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) group compared with the conventional group (P values .007, .006, and 0009, respectively). The percentage of epithelization was also found to be higher in the NPWT group (P = .006). The incidence of positive cultures and clinically significant graft loss was found to be lower in the NPWT group. However, this was not found to be statistically significant. NPWT dressings can be used in burn wounds following skin grafting and have been found to reduce the time for epithelization compared to conventional dressing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irad181","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,11]],"date-time":"2023-11-11T15:25:23Z","timestamp":1699716323000},"page":"468-477","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparison
