As part of a global ISTAP Classification System validation project, the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) Classification System has been translated into 15 languages worldwide. The translated skin tear classification tools are now available on our website.
Skin tears are common acute wounds with different levels of severity. An internationally accepted instrument to assess the severity of skin tears with established diagnostic accuracy, agreement, and reliability is needed to support clinical practice and research.
The SKINT Team designed and evaluated the Ghent Global incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) Monitoring Tool (GLOBIAD‐M). This new tool supports clinical decision‐making for treatment of incontinence- associated dermatitis (IAD).
