Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but life-threate-ning mucocutaneous reactions characterized by extensive epidermal detachment and systemic complications. Wound management is central to survival and long-term outcomes, yet standardiz-ed care pathways remain controversial and in-consistently implemented. This study aimed to systematically synthesize the best available evidence on wound management for patients with SJS/TEN to support clinical decision-making and optimize clinical outcomes. A comprehensive search of major international and Chinese databases and authoritative websites was conducted from January 2010 to May 2025 to collect relevant clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensus, systematic reviews, and evidence summaries. Two reviewers independently screened and evaluated the literature, and then extracted and summarized evidence using the JBI grading system. A total of 14 high-quality publications met the inclusion criteria, yielding 28 pieces of best evidence across seven7 domains: wound assessment, conservative management, surgical approach, dressing selection, pain management, infection prevention and surveillance, and hospital setting. Among them, 11 recommendations were graded as strong and 17 as weak. This evidence-based synthesis provides practical guidance for wound management in SJS/TEN and supports the development of standardized care protocols to promote epithelial recovery, reduce complications, and improve quality of life.
