Prediction Model for Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcer Development: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Sookyung Hyun | Susan Moffatt-Bruce | Cheryl Cooper | Brenda Hixon | Pacharmon Kaewprag
JMIR medical informatics | 2019

A pressure ulcer is injury to the skin or underlying tissue, caused by pressure, friction, and moisture. Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) may not only result in additional length of hospital stay and associated care costs but also lead to undesirable patient outcomes. Intensive care unit (ICU) patients show higher risk for HAPU development than general patients. We hypothesize that the care team's decisions relative to HAPU risk assessment and prevention may be better supported by a data-driven, ICU-specific prediction model.
