“…After removing duplicates and performing the title and abstracts screening (phase 1), eight records remained for full-text reading (phase 2). According to the eligibility criteria, four studies were excluded ( Supplementary Table S3 ), and four RCTs were, finally, included for qualitative and quantitative analysis [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Supplementary Table S3 presents all excluded references and reasons for exclusion [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…Figure 3 provides a meta-analysis of the four studies showing that the clinical efficacy of olive oil was better than the control (RR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.39 to 0.79, I 2 = 0%) [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Additionally, the analysis of data for the subgroup of patients in the ICU showed an effect of olive oil in reducing the incidence of PUs (RR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.28 to 0.82, I 2 = 0%) and no difference in studies with HOFAs (RR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.39 to 1.01, I 2 = 0%) as the control ( Figures S1 and S2 ).…”

“…Only one study including 129 participants in the ICU suggested that olive oil may be associated with a longer number of days for PU development (olive oil: 10.45 +/− 5.20 days vs. control: 7.50 +/− 5.43) [ 19 ].…”

The purpose was to identify and summarize the existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of the topical application of olive oil for preventing pressure ulcers (PUs). We included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving patients at risk of developing PUs, testing the topical application of olive oil versus other products for PU prevention. We assessed the risk of bias using the RoB 2 tool, and the certainty of the evidence with GRADE. Four RCTs met the eligibility criteria. All studies were judged at a low risk of bias overall. The meta-analysis showed that the clinical efficacy of olive oil for prevention occurs by reducing the incidence of PUs (RR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.30 to 0.79, I2 = 0%); with no differences in adverse effects, it may be associated with a shorter development time of PUs and shorter hospital stays. The certainty of the evidence assessed by the GRADE approach was moderate and low. The topical application of olive oil is effective and safe in reducing the incidence of PUs compared to other treatments. These findings could provide new insights into olive oil as a preventive and alternative treatment for PUs as it is accessible and inexpensive compared to other products.
