A retrospective cohort study reveals that multidimensional predictors improve pressure injury prevention in ICU patients, suggesting better patient safety outcomes.
Nursing managers and ICU clinicians should recognise that patients classified as low risk by the Braden Scale may still develop deep tissue pressure injury. Incorporating multidimensional risk assessment approaches that include nutritional status, oedema and sedative use alongside traditional scales can enhance early detection and prevention. Closer skin monitoring within the first 7-10 days of ICU admission, particularly for older patients, is essential to improve patient safety and outcomes.
