Abstract:
Objective To evaluate and compare the predictive validity of the Braden Q and Braden pressure ulcer risk assessment scales in the acute pediatric patients, and explore the cutoff score of the scales. Methods We adopted the prospective cohort study design.The settings included three PICU of three different children's hospitals. Two nurses were appointed as the data collectors, and they were in charge of both the scoring and the skin assessment separately. Results We collected 145 samples. There were 9 patients who developed the pressure ulcers, and the incidence rate was 6.2%. The cutoff score of Braden Q and Braden scale was 17 and 14. The AUC of the ROC curve of the two scales was 0.481 and 0.398. Conclusions The Braden Q scale is more suitable for the pediatric patients. Further study is neededed to improve the scale.
