Pressure injuries in COVID-19 patients: A tertiary center experience

Pressure ulcers continue to severely impact patient outcomes and increase health care costs. We aimed to examine the incidence and risk factors related to pressure ulcers among COVID-19 patients. A retrospective was conducted between March 2020-April 2021. Baseline differences were examined using ch...

description Pressure ulcers continue to severely impact patient outcomes and increase health care costs. We aimed to examine the incidence and risk factors related to pressure ulcers among COVID-19 patients. A retrospective was conducted between March 2020-April 2021. Baseline differences were examined using chi-square and Fischer’s exact test. Logistic regression was employed to examine the association of the collected variables to development of new pressure ulcers. 4608 patients were included, of which eighty-three acquired new pressure ulcers. Risk factors were increased age, peripheral artery disease, abnormal albumin levels, but not prone position.
