Literature review highlights new data on pressure injuries in individuals with neurological conditions, indicating advances in clinical practice and prevention strategies.
More than 650 new articles were added to the pressure injury (PI) literature in 2024, challenging clinicians, educators, and researchers who are trying to stay current. This article summarizes 6 articles newly published in 2024 that provide important new data or insights about PIs. Articles cover a range of topics, including composition of slough, etiology of skin failure, role of zinc, and prevention and implications of PIs in people with spinal cord injury and other long-term neurological conditions. For each article, a description of the study results is provided, along with a comment on why the results are important.
