Risk factors and the potential of nomogram for predicting hospital‐acquired pressure injuries
International Wound Journal Jun 11, 2020
Cheng H, Sun X, Ji X, et al. - In this 1:5 case‐control study, researchers identified the risk factors of hospital‐acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) and developed a mathematical model of nomogram for the risk prediction of HAPIs. Data were extracted for 370 patients with HAPIs and 1,971 patients without HAPIs from the adverse events and the electronic medical systems. Study participants were randomly divided into two sets: training (n = 1,951) and validation (n = 390). Age, independent movement, sensory perception and response, moisture, perfusion, medical devices use, compulsive position, hypoalbuminaemia, an existing pressure injury or scarring from an earlier pressure injury, and surgical sufferings were considered to be significant risk factors and included in the construction of a nomogram. The nomogram's excellent performance makes it a simple and reliable tool for HAPIs risk prediction.
