“…127 Various data science methods have been used to detect or predict PIs, including logistic regression, 121,122 nonlinear regression, 124 a univariate Cox regression, 125 and three data mining algorithms (decision trees, neural networks, and SVMs). 121 The significant predictive factors comprised PI history, 121 without cancer, 121 excretion, 121 activity/mobility, 121 skin condition/circulation, 121 estimated surgery time, 122 serum albumin level, 122,125 multiple ulcers, 125 and presence of a single caregiver. 125 Logistic regression analysis was also used to determine the utility of three different PI risk assessment scales (ie, the Spinal Cord Injury Pressure Ulcer Scale, Braden Scale, and Functional Independence Measure]) for identifying individuals at risk for developing PI.…”
