Identifying risk factors for pressure injuries in surgical patients
Prediction Models for Risk Score and Prognosis of Intraoperatively Acquired Pressure Injury in Surgical Patients: a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study
Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University · NCT06166641
This study is trying to find out what factors put surgical patients at risk for developing pressure injuries during their operations, so we can better identify who needs extra care.

What this trial studies
This study aims to identify the risk of intraoperatively acquired pressure injuries (IAPI) in surgical patients using a prospective multicenter approach. It combines indicators from commonly used assessment tools with practical experience to create a comprehensive assessment framework. By collecting data on patient demographics, medical history, and surgical procedures, the study seeks to improve the accuracy of identifying at-risk patients. The multicenter design enhances the generalizability of findings across various surgical settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients undergoing surgical procedures at the participating hospital.
Not a fit: Patients who have pre-existing pressure injuries (stage II and above) prior to surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better prevention strategies for pressure injuries in surgical patients, improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored risk factors for pressure injuries, this specific multicenter predictive model approach is relatively novel.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All patients who underwent surgery procedure at the participating setting after the study registration. Exclusion criteria: Patients who have already been diagnosed with pressure injury (stage II and above) before undergoing surgery procedure. Patients/relatives/guardians understand the refusal of data to be used for clinically relevant research. Investigators believe that certain patient conditions may affect the efficacy and safety assessment of this study.
