A Predictive Nomogram for In-ICU Deterioration of Stage 1 Pressure Injuries: A Retrospective Study
Summary: Researchers developed and validated a nomogram to predict deterioration of stage 1 pressure injuries in ICU patients. The model incorporates easily accessible clinical variables and demonstrates good predictive performance, enabling earlier targeted prevention strategies in critically ill patients at high risk of pressure injury progression.
Key Highlights:
- Focus on early-stage pressure injury progression in ICU
- Easy-to-use nomogram based on routine clinical data
- Supports timely preventive interventions
- Addresses a critical gap in pressure injury risk stratification
