We randomly assigned children <17 years of age with stage I to III pressure ulcer in the intensive care unit to ‘honey dressing’ or ‘standard treatment’ groups; medicated honey dressing or standard dressing was applied in the two groups, respectively. Children with ulcers > 5 cm diameter and those with active infection were excluded. The respective dressing was changed when soiled, for a maximum period of 8 weeks or till healthy granulation tissue appeared. Major outcomes were time to wound healing and proportion with complete wound healing. Enrolled patients were followed-up till death or discharge from the hospital. Data were analysed using STATA 13.
