Clinical Trial: Simplified Acute Physiology Score 2 and Pressure Ulcer Prediction in ICU.

U.S., July 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07732517) titled 'Simplified Acute Physiology Score 2 and Pressure Ulcer Prediction in ICU.' on July 23.

Brief Summary: Critically ill patients admitted in intensive care units are at high risk of developing pressure ulcer (also known as pressure injury). In Bordeaux teaching hospital, a prevalence survey identified the department of anaesthesia and Intensive Care Unit with the highest rate for pressure ulcer (up to 29% of patients). Yet, developing a PU will increase patient's pain, health expenses, and the risks for further complications such as infection, prolonged hospitalization and a higher mortality rate. Therefore, this study aims at improvin...
