Abstract 164: Development Of A Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury Predictive Model Using The Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission Database (2012-2017)

摘要

Purpose: Each year, 60,000 patients die of complications from a hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) alone; HAPIs also incur over $10 billion in health care spending annually. Despite guidelines placing increased pressure on early detection and prevention, HAPIs still occur at high rates in intensive care unit (ICU) patients who are higher risk due to the severity of their illness and decreased mobility. Studies of HAPIs in the nursing home and spinal cord injury populations have shown that risk factors range from patients’ medical history to payer status. In this study, we sought to identify pertinent risk factors and develop a prediction model estimating an ICU patients’ risk of developing a stage 3 or stage 4 HAPI.
