“…As for the profile of affected patients, their mean age of 4.9 years showed that this age group was most prone to developing PI. At this age, the skin is more susceptible to trauma because of its sensitivity 44 . There was a predominance of white skin color, as in other studies, 6–8 which may be related to the higher prevalence of these patients in the institution.…”

OBJECTIVETo validate the Glamorgan Scale and compare its predictive ability in assessing pressure injury risk among patients in a pediatric ICU (PICU) with that of the Braden Q Scale.METHODSA prospective cohort study was performed to validate the Glamorgan Scale and compare its predictive ability with the Braden Q Scale in a PICU population. A total of 83 patients admitted in the PICU between February and July 2020 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study, leading to 639 measurements. The authors tested the psychometric properties of the Glamorgan Scale to validate whether the characteristics of the original version were preserved. To this end, reliability (internal consistency) and concurrent and predictive validity (sensitivity and specificity) were assessed. For the predictive comparison, the authors performed the same tests with the Braden Q Scale.RESULTSThe predictive validity, as assessed by the receiver operator characteristic curve and calculation of the area under the curve, showed satisfactory performance for the Glamorgan Scale (0.77; CI, 0.72–0.82); the Braden Q Scale values were similar (0.78; CI 0.73–0.84). The Spearman correlation coefficient showed a strong correlation between the total scores of the Glamorgan Scale (ρ = −0.76; P < .01), corroborating its validation.CONCLUSIONSThe Glamorgan Scale was validated and showed good accuracy and consistency for pressure injury risk assessment in critically ill pediatric patients in Brazil. Its accuracy was similar to that of the Braden Q Scale.
