的目标。本文报告了一项研究，评估了一组长期单位的压疮患病率，并描述了与压疮风险和存在相关的主要因素。尽管压疮是可以预防的，但它在住院病人中非常常见，并与发病率和死亡率增加有关。在意大利罗马进行了一项横断面研究，涉及来自10个长期单位的571名患者。每个单位的医护人员评估压疮风险并收集临床数据，而一名注册护士评估所有患者以确定压疮。对两个结果进行单因素和多因素分析：压疮风险状况（Braden评分）
Aim. This paper is a report of a study to assess pressure ulcer prevalence in a group of long-term units and to describe the main factors associated both with risk for and presence of a pressure ulcer.Background. Despite being potentially preventable, pressure ulcers are highly frequent among institutionalized patients and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.Method. A cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 571 patients from 10 long-term units in Rome, Italy. Healthcare staff in each unit evaluated pressure ulcer risk and collected clinical data while a single Registered Nurse assessed all patients to identify pressure ulcers. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for the two outcomes: condition at risk for pressure ulcers (Braden score
