“…Similarly, the prevalence of pressure ulcers at one regional medical centre in eastern Thailand in 2008 was 9.58 per 1000 patient days (Kitkaew et al 2011). This rate was higher than the hospital-acquired pressure ulcer rate at unit level in the US hospitals in 2013 of 1.87-2.23% (Boyle et al 2016) or 1.26% in the Chinese hospitals (Zhou et al 2018).…”

“…The association between incontinence and PI was significant. According to prior studies (Lachenbruch, Ribble, Emmons, & Vangilder, 2016;Zhou et al, 2017), incontinence was associated with an increased risk of PI. The relationship can be explained through the following reasons.…”

Aim To investigate the distribution of pressure injuries among older adults in China and to identify the associated risk factors. Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods The identified subjects were collected from 2012 wave of a national Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Older people were defined as being 65 years of age or older. We used chi‐square test and binary logistic regression to investigate the risk factors of pressure injury development. Results A total of 55 older people were documented as suffering from pressure injuries among 6,961 older Chinese adults, with a prevalence of 0.8%. In the group of disability, the prevalence of pressure injuries from high to low was 3.6% in the highly limited group, 0.4% in the moderately limited group, and 0.3% in the not limited group. The prevalence of pressure injury among older people with stroke, cancer, and dementia were 2%, 4.2%, and 6.6%, respectively. According to the final binary logistic regression analysis, age, disability, incontinence, cancer, and dementia emerged as important risk factors for pressure injury development. Conclusion Pressure injury among Chinese community‐dwelling aged people was shown to be associated with age, disability, incontinence, cancer, and dementia. As the development of pressure injury may distinctly increase the burden on individuals and healthcare systems, the social and related institutions should actively prevent and control the disease. Impact The results of this study will improve the identification of pressure injury among older Chinese people and contribute to the development of effective pressure injury risk management interventions.

“…Referring to similar hospital based studies we estimated 100 patients were needed to ascertain the quality, accessibility and value of the data. 23 This study is reported in accordance with the RECORD Guidelines from the Equator Network. 25 Setting: The target community was chosen because it was the most socially and culturally diverse in the local health system area, with 17 ethnic groups and 79 languages being spoken.…”

“…22 Newer evidence now recognise the potential role of various data including standard laboratory tests (such as albumin levels), patient-reported symptoms, patient characteristics and comorbidities. 21,22,23 Some of these parameters are better suited to hospitalised patients who undergo regular blood tests, skin tests and intentional rounding , not PI patients living in their own homes. Such evidence suggests that information on wider patient characteristics, rather than purely medical information could be useful in the population of community PI patients that is predicted to grow.…”

Characteristics of people with pressure ulcers using one year's routinely collected data in a defined diverse community

Objective: To determine if meaningful patient characteristics pertaining to pressure ulcers (PU) can be derived from routinely collected community health data. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of records was carried out. To provide a detailed dataset on PU for the community of interest, demographic, general medical and PU data were extracted from mandatory incident reports and audit of electronic and paper medical records. This study is reported in accordance with the RECORD Guidelines from the Equator Network. Adult patients were enrolled from a district nursing service in the target region (n=1085) during 2015. The target region was based on a geographical region bounded by a single postcode district (target region) consisting of 62,000 people of whom approximately 50,000 were adults, 3000 of whom were aged >75 years. Results: The total number of recorded PUs was n=137 in 103 individuals. Data from mandatory incident reports was obtainable for nearly all variables. Electronic and paper medical records were less reliable due to missing data. Conclusion: Detailed characteristics of community-dwelling PU patients can be derived from routinely collected data, and provides various forms and levels of information which could feed into different projects. The use of mandatory reporting fields increases the level of reporting and reduces missing data. Data enriched with information from electronic and paper records could inform the addition of variables to mandatory forms to improve characterisation of community dwellers with PUs.
