BACKGROUND: Pressure injuries (PIs) impose a substantial burden on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems, affecting an estimated 3 million Americans and costing nearly $18 billion annually. Accurate pressure injury staging remains clinically c...
Pressure injuries are a common problem resulting in poor prognosis, long-term hospitalization, and increased medical costs in an aging society. This study developed a method to do automatic segmentation and area measurement of pressure injuries using...
OBJECTIVE: Analyzing pressure injury (PI) risk factors is complex because of multiplicity of associated factors and the multidimensional nature of this injury. The main objective of this study was to identify patients at risk of developing PI.
A pressure ulcer is an injury of the skin and underlying tissues adjacent to a bony eminence. Patients who suffer from this disease may have difficulty accessing medical care. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this situation. Automatic ...
The study aimed to establish a machine learning-based scoring nomogram for early recognition of likely pressure injuries in an intensive care unit (ICU) using large-scale clinical data. A retrospective cohort study design was employed to develop and ...
