Overview

Prospective observational study identifies risk factors for pressure injuries in older patients, indicating a need for focused assessments.

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify upstream factors related to pressure injuries in older hospitalized patients, focusing on those assessed by the Braden Scale.
  • Prospective observational study with 86 older patients.
  • Analyzed pre-admission living environment, education, chronic diseases, incontinence, and mobility.
  • Statistical analysis using chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and unconditional logistic regression.
  • Significant risk factors include living environment (P = 0.032), urinary incontinence (P = 0.004), and mobility (P = 0.008).
  • Logistic regression revealed urinary and fecal incontinence associated with increased pressure injury severity.
  • Associations with pre-admission living environment and mobility were not sustained after adjustment.
