OBJECTIVES The purposes of this study were to examine the predictive validity of the Cubbin and Jackson pressure ulcer risk assessment scale for the development of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit (ICU) patients retrospectively and to evaluate the reusability of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) data. METHODS A retrospective design was used to examine 829 cases admitted to four ICUs in a...

OBJECTIVE To Translate into Portuguese and evaluate the measuring properties of the Sunderland Scale and the Cubbin & Jackson Revised Scale, which are instruments for evaluating the risk of developing pressure ulcers during intensive care. METHODS This study included the process of translation and adaptation of the scales to the Portuguese language, as well as the validation of these tools. T...

This study was to compare the validity of three pressure ulcer risk tools: Cubbin and Jackson, Braden, and Douglas scales. Data were collected three times per week from 48 to 72 h after admission based on the three pressure ulcer risk assessment scales and skin assessment tool developed by the Panel for the Prediction and Prevention of Pressure Ulcers (1994) from 112 intensive care unit (ICU) p...

Objective To compare the predictive validity of three pressure ulcer risk scales: the Braden scale; the Song and Choi scale; and the Cubbin and Jackson scale and to choose the most appropriate calculator for predicting pressure ulcer risk in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) in South Korea. Design Non‐experimental prospective study. Setting A 1,053 bed tertiary educational hospital in Sou...

Aims: To identify risk assessment scales for pressure ulcers that have been used in critical care units. Determine which of them have been validated according to validity, predictive capacity and reliability criteria, developing, where possible, aggregate indicators. Methods: Systematic review of the clinical literature with meta-analysis. The main international health science databases were se...

A systematic review with meta-analysis was completed to determine the capacity of risk assessment scales and nurses' clinical judgment to predict pressure ulcer (PU) development. Electronic databases were searched for prospective studies on the validity and predictive capacity of PUs risk assessment scales published between 1962 and 2010 in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, German, and Gree...
