UNASSIGNED: Elderly @entity1 with acute @entity16 are prone to severe disability, @entity1241 ( @entity1241 ), and resultant complications. A @entity262 ( @entity262 ), based on the orthopedic suspension traction system commonly used for conservative treatment of @entity3330 and uncomplicated adult pelvic @entity174 , was developed to facilitate @entity1241 management in @entity1 immobilized secondary to an acute @entity16 . To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the system, a prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted between October 2009 and July 2012. Two hundred (200) elderly, bedridden, hospitalized @entity1 with acute, nonchronic @entity16 were randomly assigned to receive routine @entity1241 nursing care (ie, individualized dietary modification, psychological support, health education, and social support for caregivers and family members [control group]) or routine incontinence care plus the @entity262 (experimental group) during the day. Rates of perianal fecal contamination, skin breakdown, incontinenceassociated @entity1909 , pressure ulcer development, and @entity293 ( @entity293 ) were significantly lower in the @entity262 than in the control group (P <0.05). Length of hospitalization and costs of care were also lower in the @entity262 group (P <0.05). @entity1 quality-of-life (QoL) and @entity1241 QoL scores were similar at baseline but significantly higher (better) at the 6-month follow-up interview in the @entity262 than in the control group (P <0.05). In this study, the rate of @entity1241 -associated morbidities was lower and 6-month @entity1 QoL scores were higher in the @entity262 than in the control group. No adverse events were observed, and all @entity1 completed the study. Further clinical studies are needed to examine the long-term effects of @entity262 use among neurologically impaired @entity1241 @entity1 .
