Care-related risk factors for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers in elderly adults with hip fracture.

Abstract

Most of the factors hypothesized to be associated with higher PU incidence were associated with lower incidence or were not significantly associated, suggesting that HAPU development may not be as sensitive to care-related factors as commonly believed.

Rigorous studies of innovative preventive interventions are needed to inform policy and practice.
