متن کاملPredicting pressure ulcer risk : a study of the predictive validity of the Braden scale at different health care settings
Pressure ulcers are serious problems that occur frequently in acute and long term facilities. Once they occur, pressure ulcers may lead to sepsis and death. A key to prevention is early detection of at-risk patients with a valid and reliable pressure ulcer risk assessment instrument. The Braden scale is one of the most intensively used tools designed to facilitate that assessment. The Braden sc...
متن کاملUsing the Braden Q Scale to Predict Pressure Ulcer Risk in pediatric patients.
The Braden Q Scale for Predicting Pediatric Pressure Ulcer Risk (Braden Q Scale) is a widely used, valid, and reliable pediatric-specific pressure ulcer risk assessment tool. Since its original publication, requests for clarification on how best to use the tool across the wide spectrum of pediatric patients commonly cared for in health care systems have been received.

متن کاملPredicting pressure ulcer risk with the modified Braden, Braden, and Norton scales in acute care hospitals in Mainland China.
The aim of this study was to develop a modified Braden scale, to evaluate its predictive validity, and to identify a more valid pressure ulcer risk calculator for application in acute care hospitals in Mainland China among the modified Braden, Braden, and Norton scales. The initial modified Braden scale, with the addition of skin type and body build for height, was proposed in this study. Four ...
