Incidence and characteristics of hospital-acquired mucous membrane pressure injury: A five-year analysis

Paul Fulbrook et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the incidence and characteristics of mucous membrane pressure injuries in a tertiary acute general hospital. Mucous membrane pressure injuries are more common in intensive care patients, with the lips and mouth being the most common sites of injury.

Compliance with preventive measures recommended by an international study group for pressure injuries in adult critically ill patients

Angel Cobos-Vargas et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to analyse the compliance with preventive measures for pressure injuries in critically ill patients using the COMHON index. The study found a wide range of compliance with the recommended measures, with some measures being more related to the subscale components of the COMHON scale rather than the overall score.

Pressure injuries in Australian public hospitals: A cost of illness study

Son Nghiem et al.

Summary: This study estimated the cost of pressure injuries in Australian public hospitals in 2020, demonstrating the economic burden they placed on the healthcare system. The total cost of pressure injuries was found to be AUD 9.11 billion, with the largest shares attributed to excess length of stay and treatment costs. It was concluded that reducing preventable pressure injuries and stopping the progression of early-stage pressure injuries could lead to significant cost savings for Australia and other countries with comparable healthcare systems.

Pressure injury prevalence in Australian intensive care units: A secondary analysis

Fiona Coyer et al.

Summary: The prevalence of ICU-acquired pressure injuries in Australian ICUs was found to be 9.7%. Renal replacement therapy, impaired mobility, respiratory rate, length of ICU stay, and mechanical ventilation on admission were identified as significant factors associated with the development of ICU-acquired pressure injuries.

Exploring medical device-related pressure injuries in a single intensive care setting: A longitudinal point prevalence study

Fiona Coyer et al.

Summary: This study reported longitudinal prevalence rates of device-related pressure injuries in critically ill adult patients in the intensive care unit and identified significant predictors including total number of devices, length of ICU stay, sex, and severity of illness score on admission. Device related pressure injuries are a common iatrogenic issue for this vulnerable patient cohort.

Systematic review: Incidence and prevalence of mucous membrane pressure injury in adults admitted to acute hospital settings

Paul Fulbrook et al.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to analyze the incidence and prevalence of hospital-acquired mucous membrane pressure injury (MMPI) in adults admitted to acute hospital settings. Twenty-one studies met inclusion criteria, with most providing incidence data, but no specific studies reported MMPI incidence or prevalence.

Effectiveness of interventions to prevent pressure injury in adults admitted to intensive care settings: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Josephine Lovegrove et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent pressure injury in adults admitted to intensive care settings. Only prophylactic sacral and heel dressings demonstrated effectiveness in preventing pressure injury. Further intensive care-specific trials are required across all intervention types, and future trials should be conducted and reported as per relevant guidelines and recommendations to minimize bias.

Prevalence of pressure injuries and the management of support surfaces (mattresses) in adult intensive care patients: A multicentre point prevalence study in Australia and New Zealand

Elizabeth Yarad et al.

Summary: A survey of adult ICU patients in Australia and New Zealand revealed a 10% prevalence rate of pressure injuries (PIs), with the sacrum being the most common location. The majority of patients with PIs showed signs of sepsis on the study day and were more likely to be cared for on active support surfaces.

Systematic review of pressure injury prevalence in Australian and New Zealand hospitals

Kyrie Rodgers et al.

Summary: The study reported a prevalence rate of 12.9% for pressure injuries in acute-care hospitals in Australia and New Zealand, with a hospital-acquired pressure injury prevalence rate of 7.9%. The most common stages of pressure injuries were stage I and II, with the most frequent locations being the sacrum/buttock/coccyx area and the heels.

paper Prevalence of pressure injuries among critically ill patients and factors associated with their occurrence in the intensive care unit: The PRESSURE study

Gwenaelle Jacq et al.

Summary: This study describes the prevalence of pressure injuries in critically ill patients, finding that the most common locations of PI are the sacrum, heel, and face, with severe forms accounting for 40.8% of all PIs. Factors such as longer stay in the ICU, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score, higher body weight, motor neurological disorder, high-dose steroids, and absence of oral nutrition on the study day are independently associated with the occurrence of PI in the ICU.

Catherine A. VanGilder et al.

Summary: The prevalence of pressure injuries in US acute care hospitals plateaued between 2015-2019, with critical care units showing the highest rates of hospital-acquired pressure injuries. Despite medical advancements improving survival rates for critically ill patients, there is still a high incidence of pressure injuries, especially in critical care units.

Repositioning for pressure injury prevention in adults: An abridged Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis

Brigid M. Gillespie et al.

Summary: The study assessed the clinical and cost-effectiveness of repositioning schedules on the prevention of pressure injury in adults, identifying 8 eligible trials. It remains unclear which repositioning frequencies or positions are most effective in preventing pressure injury in adults, and there is limited evidence to support the cost effectiveness of repositioning frequencies and positions.

Trends in mortality due to pressure ulcers in Spain, over the period 1999?2016

Jose Verdu-Soriano et al.

Summary: This study analyzed trends in mortality by Pressure Ulcers in Spain between 1999 and 2016. The results showed a general decrease in mortality rates for both men and women, with significant changes detected in certain age groups. The findings suggest that the decrease in mortality rates could be attributed to the implementation of patient safety policies over time, with differences observed between genders.
