“…Edema caused by hypoalbuminemia due to reasons such as increased catabolism, inflammation, ineffective nutrition of patients in intensive care unit negatively affects wound healing 4 . Hypoalbuminemia was the third most common risk factor in our patients, and when we compared it with other patients, no significant difference was found in terms of wound healing.…”

Introduction: Pressure sores are a serious health problem that is common in the intensive care unit (ICU), increasing the length of hospital stay, cost and mortality rate, and should be prevented first. This study was conducted in order to determine the risk factors that may affect our pressure sore prevalence and development. Materials and Methods: The pressure sore data of the patients treated in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit for six months between June 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 were examined. The demographic characteristics, hospitalization diagnoses, pressure sore risk factors, locations and stages of the patients with pressure sores were recorded. Results: The number of patients followed up during the six-month period was 275 and 52 of the patients had pressure sores (18.9%). Forty of the patients were 65 years and older, and advanced age was found to be a significant risk factor (p <0.01). Considering the patients who developed pressure sores in our intensive care follow-up, it was seen that the average pressure sore development day was 17.1st day. (3rd-44th day) Pressure sores were most common in the sacral region and stage two. Conclusion: While the most important risk factors for pressure ulcer development were emphasized as advanced age; in our study, in parallel with the literature, advanced age was the most common. Pressure sores rate and analysis, which is one of the mandatory parameters as an indicator of quality in intensive care, is one of the issues that should be dominated by every intensive care worker.

Objective: Chronic wounds are a major health problem in the geriatric population and often lead to reduced quality of life and increased healthcare costs. To evaluate the impact of chronic diseases and nutritional status on pressure ulcer development in individuals over 65 years of age enrolled in home care services. Methods: This study was conducted between 15.12.2022 - 15.01.2023 at Giresun Training and Research Hospital. Individuals registered to the Home Care Services (HCS) and aged 65 years and over were included. Sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), Visual pain scale, Braden Pressure ulcus risk scale and a scale to analyze wound staging were applied. Results: The mean age of the 76 patients included in the study was 83.64±8.11 years. 80.3% of the patients were female, 86.8% needed medical care. 52.6% received HCS for neurologic, 36.8% for cardiovascular and 7.8% for respiratory diseases. When nutritional risk status was analyzed, 40.8% had a primary assessment as a result of the preliminary assessment. According to the main assessment result, 97.4% of the patients had nutritional risk. As a result of physical examination, wounds were detected in 16% of the patients. Considering the risk of pressure ulcus development, 6.8% of the patients were at high risk, 21.6% were at medium risk and 35.1% were at low risk. The mean Braden pressure scale score was 16.86±3.03. Only one of the participants described moderate pain. Conclusions: Effective management of chronic wounds in geriatric patients requires a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach that addresses the underlying causes, promotes wound healing, and prevents complications.
