The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between pressure injury development and Braden Scale for Pressure Sore Risk subscale scores in a surgical ICU population, and to ascertain whether the risk represented by the subscale scores is different between older versus younger patients. We identified a cohort of 6377 surgical ICU patients via electronic health record data to determine Braden Scale total and subscale scores, age, and incidence of pressure injury development. We used survival analysis to determine the hazards of developing a pressure injury associated with each subscale of the Braden Scale, with the lowest risk category as a reference. In addition, we used time-dependent Cox regression with natural cubic splines to model the interaction between age and Braden Scale scores and subscale scores in pressure injury risk. Of the 6377 ICU patients, 214 (4%) developed a pressure injury (Stages 2–4, deep tissue injury, or unstageable) and 516 (8%) developed a hospital-acquired pressure injury of any stage. With the exception of the friction and shear subscales, regardless of age, individuals with scores in the intermediate risk levels had the highest likelihood of developing pressure injury. The relationship between age, Braden Scale subscale scores, and pressure injury development varied among subscales. Maximal preventive efforts should be extended to include individuals with intermediate Braden Scale subscale scores, and age should be considered along with the subscale scores as a factor in care planning.
