| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Burns constitutes a public health problem with a high socioeconomic impact worldwide. Historically, honey has been used to treat wounds. Manuka honey stands out for its high methylglyoxal content, which gives it superior therapeutic potential. However, clinical evidence on its effectiveness in burns is heterogeneous and lacks a synthesis that evaluates clinical outcomes. Objective: To synthesize the available evidence on the composition of dressings with Manuka honey and their outcomes in the care of burn patients in hospital settings. Methods: Scope review was conducted according to PRISMA-SCR guidelines. The PCC (Population, Content, Context) strategy was employed. The population of interest consisted of burn patients. Treatments with Manuka honey and their outcomes, such as healing, infection, pain, exudate, patient satisfaction, costs, and others, were analyzed. Finally, the study context focused on inpatient settings. Results: Five articles were included: three case series, one uncontrolled clinical trial, and one retrospective cohort study. The findings show that Manuka honey accelerates epithelialization, reduces bacterial load (including multidrug-resistant strains), promotes pain management, and is cost-effective. Conclusion: Available clinical evidence suggests that Manuka honey has positive effects on wound healing, bacterial control, and pain. However, the findings are not conclusive due to the studies' limitations. Therefore, more rigorous clinical trials are needed to validate these findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: las quemaduras constituyen un problema de salud pública con alto impacto socioeconómico a nivel mundial. Históricamente, la miel se ha utilizado para tratar heridas. La miel de Manuka destaca por su concentración de metilglioxal, lo que le confiere un potencial terapéutico superior. Sin embargo, la evidencia clínica sobre su efectividad en quemaduras es heterogénea y carece de una síntesis que evalúe sus desenlaces clínicos. Objetivo: sintetizar la evidencia disponible sobre el contenido de las curaciones con miel de Manuka y sus desenlaces en el cuidado de pacientes con quemaduras en entornos intrahospitalarios. Métodos: revisión de alcance conforme a las directrices PRÍSMA-SCR. Se empleó la estrategia PCC (Población, Concepto, Contexto). La población de interés fueron pacientes con quemaduras. Se analizaron las curaciones con miel de Manuka y sus desenlaces: la cicatrización, la infección, el dolor, el exudado, la satisfacción del paciente, los costos, entre otros. El contexto del estudio se centró en entornos intrahospitalarios. Resultados: se incluyeron cinco artículos: tres series de casos, un ensayo clínico no controlado y una cohorte retrospectiva. Los hallazgos muestran que la miel de Manuka acelera el proceso de epitelización, reduce la carga bacteriana (incluidas cepas multirre-sistentes), favorece el manejo del dolor y resulta costo-efectiva. Conclusión: la evidencia clínica disponible sugiere que la miel de Manuka tiene efectos positivos en la cicatrización, el control bacteriano y el manejo del dolor. Sin embargo, los resultados no son concluyentes debido a las limitaciones de los estudios. Por ello, se requieren ensayos clínicos más rigurosos para validar estos hallazgos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: queimaduras constituem um problema de saúde pública de alto impacto socioeconómico em todo o mundo. Historicamente, o mel tem sido usado para tratar feridas. O mel de Manuka destaca-se pela sua concentração de metilglioxal, que lhe confere um potencial terapêutico superior. No entanto, as evidências clínicas sobre a sua eficácia em queimaduras são heterogêneas e carecem de uma síntese que avalie os resultados. Objetivo: sintetizar as evidências disponíveis sobre a composição de curativos com mel de Manuka e seus resultados no tratamento de pacientes queimados em ambiente hospitalar. Métodos: a revisão do escopo foi conduzida conforme as diretrizes PRÍSMA-SCR. A estratégia PCC (População, Conteúdo, Contexto) foi empregada. A população de interesse foi composta por pacientes queimados. Os tratamentos com mel de Manuka e seus desfechos, como cicatrização, infecção, dor, exsudato, satisfação do paciente, custos e outros, foram analisados. Por fim, o contexto do estudo concentrou-se em ambientes hospitalares. Resultados: cinco artigos foram incluídos: três séries de casos, um ensaio clínico não controlado e um estudo de coorte retrospectivo. Os resultados mostram que o mel de Manuka acelera o processo de epitelização, reduz a carga bacteriana (incluindo cepas multirresistentes), promove o controle da dor e é economicamente viável. Conclusão: as evidências clínicas disponíveis sugerem que o mel de Manuka tem efeitos positivos na cicatrização de feridas, no controle bacteriano e no alívio da dor. No entanto, as conclusões não são definitivas devido às limitações dos estudos. Portanto, são necessários ensaios clínicos mais rigorosos para validar esses resultados. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
