Dermatological Problems and Treatment in Long-Term/Nursing-Home Care
Özge Zorlu. Geriatric Dermatologic Therapy, 2026-02-17
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
It is thought that every elderly has at least one dermatological problem. Although the exact epidemiology of dermatological diseases in long-term/nursing-home care is not known, each of the geriatric dermatoses can be encountered. Although healthcare professionals and nursing staff generally focus on pressure injuries and incontinence-related dermatitis, infectious diseases, and epidemics can also be significant problems in nursing homes. Since geriatric dermatoses will be discussed in detail in the following sections, this section will only detail pressure injuries.
Key findings
- Although healthcare professionals and nursing staff generally focus on pressure injuries and incontinence-related dermatitis, infectious diseases, and epidemics can also be significant problems in nursing homes.
Why it matters
This section discusses dermatological problems and treatment in long-term and nursing-home care, focusing on pressure injuries. It provides no information on treating, curing or preventing Alzheimer's disease.

How this study scored 27/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, senior author's track record and institution's track record, so those were left out: it earned 24 of the 89 points we could judge it on, which is 27 out of 100.
