A path analysis study of factors influencing decubitus in a geriatric nursing home: a preliminary study

Data Science Trends Relevant to Nursing Practice: A Rapid Review of the 2020 Literature

“…We identified 13 studies for the topic of pressure injuries (PIs). Of these 13 studies, 7 studies used a retrospective cohort design, 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 3 used a prospective cohort design, 237 238 239 1 used a clinical trial, 240 1 used a cross-sectional design, 241 and 1 used secondary data analysis. 242 A variety of data sources were used for the studies, including EHR data, 233 234 238 239 data warehouses, 230 231 235 236 a publicly available dataset, 232 sensor data, 240 242 and surveys as the primary collection tool.…”

“…Most studies used the incidence rate of PIs as the outcome, except for one study 234 that projected PI closure and two studies 240 242 that explored PI images. Various data science methods were used to detect or predict PIs including logistic regression, 230 231 232 234 239 generalized estimating equations, 237 multiple regression, 235 path analysis, 241 supervised ML, 233 236 238 and imaging processing. 240 242 The predominant predictor variables used across studies included demographics and diagnoses, 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 239 followed by clinical assessment data, 231 233 235 236 237 238 239 241 Braden's scale, 231 232 236 237 239 laboratory tests, 233 234 236 238 239 and medications.…”
