Abstract

factors, and risk of pressure injury among older inpatients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 410 older inpatients at the Department of Geriatrics, Gia Dinh People's Hospital, from December 2022 to April 2023. Participants were evaluated prevalent pressure injury at admission and incident pressure injury during staying in the hospital. Those without pressure injury at admission were evaluated risk of onset pressure injury based on the Braden scale. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with pressure injury at admission. Results: The prevalence of pressure injury at admission was 6.3% (26/410 patients). The incidence of pressure injury during staying in the hospital was 3.4% (13/384 patients). Multivariate model indicated that pre-admission immobility was a factor associated with pressure injury at admission (adjusted OR: 51.9, 95% confidence interval: 9.67-279.1, P < 0.001). The mean total Braden score among 384 patients without pressure injury at admission was 18.5 ± 3.3. There was an increasing trend in the incidence of pressure injury in levels of the Braden scale. Conclusion: The study revealed the older inpatients had respectively the prevalent and incident pressure injuries were 6.3% and 3.4%. Pre-admission immobility was associated with pressure injury in older adults.
