Objective To explore the applicability and optimal cut-off of the revised Cubbin & Jackson scale in the diagnosis of pressure injury in ICU patients in China.Methods From April 2021 to October 2022,6 203 ICU patients from 35 tertiary hospitals in Gansu Province were included in the study by convenience sampling method.The standardized trained ICU nurses examined the skin and collected relevant data,determined whether or not there was pressure injury and its stage,and simultaneously used the revised Cubbin & Jackson scale for pressure injury risk assessment.The software was used to statistically analyze the area under the receive operating characteristic curve(AUC),Yoden index,sensitivity,specificity and other indexes of the revised Cubbin & Jackson scale in the diagnosis of pressure injury in ICU patients.Results A total of 79 cases of pressure injury occurred during hospitalization in 6 203 ICU patients,with an incidence of 1.27％.Hierarchical analysis showed that the AUC of the revised Cubbin & Jackson scale in the prediction and diagnosis of pressure injury ranged from 0.74 to 0.92 in ICU patients with different sex,age,length of ICU stay,whether or not mechanically ventilated,and whether or not surgical.The Yoden index,sensitivity and specificity were 0.40-0.74,77.27％-94.44％and 62.44％-82.63％,respectively.When the total score was ≤28 points,the revised Cubbin & Jackson scale obtained the highest AUC(0.86),and the Yoden index,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,positive likelihood ratio,and negative likelihood ratio were 0.60,92.41％,67.26％,3.50％,99.86％,2.82 and 0.11,respectively.Conclusion The revised Cubbin & Jackson scale can be used as a suitable tool to effectively predict and diagnose pressure injury in ICU patients in China,and the optimal cut-off of ≤28 points is appropriate.

Objective To develop"guideline for risk assessment and prevention of noninvasive ventilation related facial pressure injuries in adults"and to provide a reference for clinical medical staff to evaluate and prevent noninvasive ventilation related facial pressure injuries.Methods Referring to the"WHO Guideline Development Manual",clinical problems were formed through 3 rounds of Delphi expert consultation.The relevant recommendation opinions and evidence were screened,extracted,integrated and evaluated to form a draft consensus.Through a round of Delphi expert consultation and a round of expert consensus meeting,expert opinions were combined to modify and improve the content of each item to form a final draft of the expert consensus.Results Recommendations for the constructed guideline included 7 aspects of risk factors,high-risk sites,assessment tools,assessment timing and content,selection of non-invasive ventilation equipment,selection of dressings,and preventive measures,including 7 clinical questions and 15 recommendations.Conclusion The"guideline for risk assessment and prevention of noninvasive ventilation related facial pressure injuries in adults"was an evidence-based guideline based on the best evidence,Chinese clinical reality,and professional judgment,and it can provide practice bases for scientific clinical decisions making by clinical medical staff and managers.
