Insights

This study aims to develop a risk prediction model for pressure injuries (PIs) in immobile patients by analyzing systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines. The model will help identify modifiable risk factors for prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Clinical practice guidelines
  • Systematic reviews

Background:

  • Pressure injuries (PIs) impose significant physical, mental, and financial burdens on immobile patients, their families, and healthcare systems.
  • Effective prevention strategies are crucial to mitigate the impact of PIs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify risk factors for developing PIs in immobile patients.
  • To establish a risk prediction model for PIs.
  • To pinpoint individual, modifiable risk factors for PI prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive search of electronic databases, clinical practice guideline (CPG) databases, and systematic review (SR) databases.
  • Independent study selection and data extraction by two reviewers, followed by critical appraisal of included SRs and CPGs.
  • Statistical analysis using RevMan 5.3 for pooled odds ratio (ORP) calculation and logistic regression for risk model development, supplemented by narrative synthesis, evidence summary tables, and Sankey diagrams.

Main Results:

  • The study will yield a comprehensive risk prediction model for pressure injuries.
  • Identified risk factors will be categorized for targeted prevention strategies.

Conclusions:

  • This systematic review will provide a validated risk prediction model for pressure injury development.
  • The findings will support the implementation of targeted, evidence-based prevention strategies for immobile patients.
