Description
Summary:To assess the clinical and nutritional risk factors related to the occurrence of pressure ulcers (PUs) in patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This is a cohort retrospective study, carried out by analyzing the medical records of patients admitted to the ICU of a hospital, containing information on sociodemographic, clinical, dietary, and anthropometric data, presence of mechanical ventilation, sedation, and use of noradrenaline. To verify the clinical and nutritional risk factors, multivariate Poisson's regression with robust variance was used to estimate the relative risk (RR) according to the explanatory variables. A total of 130 patients were evaluated from January 1 to December 31, 2019. The incidence of PUs in the study population was 29.2%. In univariate analysis, male sex, suspended or enteral diet, use of mechanical ventilation, and sedatives had a significant association with the PUs (p
