Abstract
The economic impact of pressure ulcer prevention and treatment is high. The results
of cost-of-illness studies can assist the planning, allocation, and priority setting
of healthcare expenditures to improve the implementation of preventive measures. Data
on the cost of current practice of pressure ulcer prevention or treatment in Flanders,
a region of Belgium, is lacking.
