摘　　要：BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcers(DFUs)present a significant clinical challenge due to their high prevalence and profound impact on morbidity.Ultrasound-assisted wound debridement(UAWD)has emerged as a potential therapeutic modality to improve healing outcomes in DFU management.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of UAWD in treating DFUs on wound closure rates,treatment duration,and quality of life outcomes.METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines,systematically searching PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and the Cochrane Library with no date restrictions.Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)that evaluated the efficacy of UAWD in DFU treatment were included.Data were independently extracted by two reviewers,with discrepancies resolved through consensus or third-party consultation.The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool.χ2 and I2 statistics assessed heterogeneity,informing the use of fixed or random-effects models for meta-analysis,supplemented by sensitivity analysis and publication bias assessment through funnel plots and Egger's test.RESULTS From 1255 articles,seven RCTs met the inclusion criteria.The studies demonstrated that UAWD significantly reduced DFU healing time(standardized mean difference=-0.78,95%CI:-0.97 to-0.60,P<0.001)and increased healing rates(odds ratio=9.96,95%CI:5.99 to 16.56,P<0.001)compared to standard care.Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of these results,and no significant publication bias was detected.CONCLUSION UAWD is a promising adjunctive treatment for DFUs,significantly reducing healing times and increasing healing rates.These findings advocate for the integration of UAWD into standard DFU care protocols.
