“…Results of previous studies17 – 22 have indicated that decreased Hb is associated with pressure ulcer development, whereas both our Cox regression analysis and logistic regression analysis indicated that increased Hb is related to the occurrence of pressure ulcers. The reason for the discrepancy is not clear.…”

“…However, they used simple single-variable analysis of factors (two-sample t test) in comparing patients with and without pressure ulcers. William et al , Bresloa et al , Perier et al , Gengenbacher et al , Burr et al and Matsuyama et al also reported the importance of low serum Alb, high CRP, and low Hb as risk factors 17 – 22. Unfortunately, their results are not statistically appropriate because they did not adjust for possible differences in demographic factors between patients with and without pressure ulcers.…”

“…9 Thomas 9 also noted that patients malnourished at admission to the hospital, defined by an index of biochemical and anthropomorphic measurements, were twice as likely to develop pressure ulcers as those not malnourished. Williams et al 34 found in a study of 34 hospitalized patients admitted with a pressure ulcer had significantly lower albumin levels, total lymphocyte count, hematocrit and hemoglobin levels than those without pressure ulcer at admission. Taken together, these studies echo our findings in a database analysis.…”

Selection of patients for preventive measures to protect against pressure ulcers relies on clinical scales and provider judgment, which vary widely. Our objectives were to: (a) identify risk factors by clinical classification and report demographic differences in pressure ulcer risk and (b) develop criteria for identification of high-risk patients. Patients with pressure ulcer as a discharge diagnosis were identified from the 2003 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). The effect of discharge diagnosis was examined using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Clinical Classification Software (CCS). Multiple regression analysis for survey data was used to assess risk factors. The 2003 NIS listed 94,758 with a discharge diagnosis of pressure ulcer, identified as International Classification of Disease-9 code 707.0-707.09, for an overall incidence of 143 per 10,000. Forty-five CCS discharge diagnoses were present in at least 5% of these patients and 28 of these CCS diagnoses had odds ratios >2.0. African-American race and advanced age were identified as risk factors for pressure ulcer diagnosis. Disorders of skin integrity, organ system failure, and infection were found to be broad categories of risk factors as well. Using the NIS, risk factors for pressure ulcer including diagnoses and demographic factors have been identified.
