Supplementary file 1_Quality improvement strategies for preventing tracheostomy-related pr

Six studies with 736 pediatric participants were included in this meta-analysis. The review, authored by Yanan Wang and last updated in June 2026, provides preliminary evidence on interventions like silver-containing foam dressings and Velcro® securement devices. Its findings are based on a comprehensive search of Chinese and international databases.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the comparative effectiveness of different tracheostomy securement methods based on reported adverse event risks.
• Assessing the potential efficacy of foam dressing types (e.g., Mepilex® Ag) for preventing medical device-related pressure injuries in children.
• Informing clinical guideline development based on Bayesian network meta-analysis and SUCRA rankings mentioned in the results.

Strengths

• Includes data from 736 pediatric participants across 6 studies, providing a focused evidence base.
• Employs advanced statistical methods, including Bayesian meta-analysis and network meta-analysis, as described.
• Explicitly follows NPIAP/EPUAP definitions for pressure injuries, indicating methodological rigor.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 268.3 KB DOCX file, indicating a very small textual document rather than a primary data repository.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the file likely contains review text and analysis results.
• Credible intervals for key comparisons were wide, indicating substantial statistical uncertainty as noted in the results.
